The optimal integration of information from independent Poisson sources (such as neurons) was analyzed in the context of a two-interval, forced-choice detection task. When the mean count of the Poisson distribution is above 1, the benefit of integration is closely approximated by the predictions based on the square-root law of the Gaussian model. When the mean count falls far below 1, however, the benefit of integration clearly exceeds the predictions based on the square-root law.
在双间隔强制选择检测任务的背景下,分析了来自独立泊松源(如神经元)信息的最优整合。当泊松分布的平均计数大于1时,整合的益处与基于高斯模型平方根定律的预测非常接近。然而,当平均计数远低于1时,整合的益处明显超过基于平方根定律的预测。
