Functional analysis of ultra high information rates conveyed by rat vibrissal primary afferents

Functional analysis of ultra high information rates conveyed by rat vibrissal primary afferents

Sensory receptors determine the type and the quantity of information available for perception. Here, we quantified and characterized the information transferred by primary afferents in the rat whisker system using neural system identification. Quantification of ‘how much’ information is conveyed by...
