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 …

Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …

Cortical neurons exhibit tremendous variability in the number and temporal distribution of
spikes in their discharge patterns. Furthermore, this variability appears to be conserved over …

Neurons in sensory systems convey information about physical stimuli in their spike trains. In
vitro, single neurons respond precisely and reliably to the repeated injection of the same …

Inthis thesis we have studied the statistical properties ofthe inputs to a cortical neuron at the
millisecond time scale, neuronal signal transduction properties, and the implication ofthe …

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

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 …

It has been known for> 30 years that neuronal spike trains exhibit correlations, that is, the
occurrence of a spike at one time is not independent of the occurrence of spikes at other …

Many neurons display significant patterning in their spike trains (eg oscillations, bursting),
and there is accumulating evidence that information is contained in these patterns. In many …

The question of how real-world events are encoded into neuronal spike trains, and how
those spike trains are, in turn, translated into perceptions, lies at the heart of neuroscience …
