How is sensory information encoded by the patterns of action potentials emitted by ensembles of neurons? Computational methods have recently been applied to this fundamental question and have found, both in the somatosensory and visual system, that the basic unit of information transmission is the timing of individual spikes. In systems studied to date, the neuronal population codes appear to be simple ones that do not rely on complex patterns of correlated spikes.
感觉信息是如何由神经元集群发出的动作电位模式进行编码的？计算方法最近已应用于这个基本问题，并在躯体感觉和视觉系统中均发现，信息传递的基本单位是单个尖峰的时间。在迄今为止所研究的系统中，神经元群体编码似乎是简单的编码，并不依赖于相关尖峰的复杂模式。
