Neuron spiking isn't rate encoded, it's temporal encoded. Ie. the distance from the next expected regular interval is the signal, not the spiking interval itse

Neuron spiking isn't rate encoded, it's temporal encoded. Ie. the distance from the next expected regular interval is the signal, not the spiking interval itself.
Additionally there's large variations in neuron spiking rates.
- philipswood 6y agoAgreed. It's encoded in an elegant way. It has to be, due to the signalling constraints. It's not like a microphone-based electronic system that's fast enough to directly transmit an analog sample of air pressure changes.
