Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 17 Novembre 2014, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano,

"Spike count and spike time coding of flashed images in macaque primary visual cortex" Marcello MULAS, Neuroscientific System Theory, Technische Universität München, Germany

Abstract: http://goo.gl/VCJ3dt

Short intro to the talk How the brain represents stimuli is still a matter of debate. It is unclear how important is the precise time of spikes in order to encode information. This study suggests that taking into account the interaction between neurons might undermine conclusions based on estimates of average information in single neurons.

Keywords V1, neural coding, information time course, synergy, redundancy, information theory

Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/.
