An information-theoretic approach for evaluating probabilistic tuning functions of single neurons

An information-theoretic approach for evaluating probabilistic tuning functions of single neurons

Neuronal tuning functions can be expressed by the conditional probability of observing a spike given any combination of independent variables. However, accurately determining such probabilistic tuning functions from experimental data poses several challenges such as finding the right combination of...
