Rate versus Temporal Coding Models
... According to this scheme, the exact pattern of spikes from each neuron would not carry information; rather, each neuron contributes to the average spike rate (as in Figure 2). The spike rate waveform has a different shape in association with the tiger and banana. It has been suggested that this rate ...
