  4. Definition: Code A code is simply a function from one signal domain onto another. Lecture 4: Coding in the Nervous System 4

  5. Definition: information on a Code (1/2) We do have knowledge about a code if we can assign unencoded and encoded signals to each-other for at least a subset of all possible signals. In other words if we can reconstruct some of the inputs to a system by observing internal encoded signals or vice versa, or if we can predict outputs from a system by observing an internal signal or vice versa. Lecture 4: Coding in the Nervous System 5

  6. Definition: information on a Code (2/2) An even less stringent requirement: we do have knowledge of a code even if we can assign unencoded/encoded signals to members of limited set of encoded/unencoded signals with given probability . I.e. if we can reconstruct a partial input from looking at a output code, in other words limit the possible inputs. Or correspondingly, predict an approximate output from looking at an internal/input signal. Lecture 4: Coding in the Nervous System 6

  21. Weekly Questions 1. How is a reconstruction from a rank order code of a black and white image impaired? Imagine 2x2 pixels, two of them black, the other two white. What information is lost in the encoding? 2. Can you again explain why a rate-, population code can also lead to overall fast response times and might be an alternative explanation of the Thorpe reaction times experiment?
