Rate and Population Coding
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Stimulus intensity is coded by how often neurons fire and how many neurons fire, never by the size of one spike.
Show
A bright light produces faster firing across more optic nerve fibers than a dim one.
Watch for
The error survives because intensity really is coded. The coding happens one level above the single neuron.
