Power-law inter-spike interval distributions infer a conditional maximization of entropy in cortical neurons.

The brain is considered to use a relatively small amount of energy for its efficient information processing. Under a severe restriction on the energy consumption, the maximization of mutual information (MMI), which is adequate for designing artificial processing machines, may not suit for the brain....
