Phase Coding: Spikes Get a Boost from Local Fields

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

The brain exhibits coherent, long-range oscillations, and it now appears that these oscillations play a substantial role in neural coding: they can boost the information contained in action potentials by as much as 50%.
