Neural coding
open-in-new
<p>Neural coding (or neural representation) is a <a href="/facts/Neuroscience/o5RV8Cas">neuroscience</a> field concerned with characterising the hypothetical relationship between the <a href="/facts/Stimulus_(physiology)/aBcpBfYQ">stimulus</a> and the neuronal responses, and the relationship among the <a href="/facts/Electrophysiology/VPd5VYzm">electrical activities</a> of the neurons in the <a href="/facts/Neuronal_ensemble/6kbaP899">ensemble</a>. Based on the theory that sensory and other information is represented in the <a href="/facts/Brain/EKla9NkJ">brain</a> by <a href="/facts/Biological_neural_network/pgngqMLf">networks of neurons</a>, it is believed that <a href="/facts/Neuron/G7CyTVdH">neurons</a> can encode both <a href="/facts/Digital_data/JChckAvr">digital</a> and <a href="/facts/Analog_signal/xDbb4uB5">analog</a> information. </p>
