Temporal codes are theoretically powerful encoding schemes, but their precise form in the
neocortex remains unknown in part because of the large number of possible codes and the …

Cortical neurons show irregular but structured spike trains. This has been interpreted as
evidence for'temporal coding', whereby stimuli are represented by precise spike-timing …

Responses of neuronal populations play an important role in the encoding of stimulus
related information. However, the inherent multidimensionality required to describe …

Single spikes can trigger repeatable firing sequences in cortical networks. The mechanisms
that support reliable propagation of activity from such small events and their functional …

A basic—yet nontrivial—function which neocortical circuitry must satisfy is the ability to
maintain stable spiking activity over time. Stable neocortical activity is asynchronous, critical …

The temporal activity of many physical and biological systems, from complex networks to
neural circuits, exhibits fluctuations simultaneously varying over a large range of timescales …

Either spontaneously or in response to stimuli, neurons are active in a coordinated fashion.
For example, an onset response to sensory stimuli usually evokes a 50–200 ms long burst of …

Electrophysiological studies of cortical function on the basis of multiple single‐neuron
recordings reveal neuronal interactions which depend on stimulus context and behavioural …

Neural coding and memory formation depend on temporal spiking sequences that span high-
dimensional neural ensembles. The unsupervised discovery and characterization of these …

The brain is composed of complex networks of interacting neurons that express
considerable heterogeneity in their physiology and spiking characteristics. How does this …
