Biological Neurons and Neural Networks, Artificial Neurons
... In biological neural networks, the individual spike timings are often important. So “spike time coding” is the most realistic representation for artificial neural networks. However, averages of spike rates across time or populations of neurons carry a lot of the useful information, and so “rate codi ...
