How Do Action Potentials Represent Information? given that the price of home video
systems is strongly Action potentials are the standard signal conveyed berelated to how …

Adaptation is a common principle that recurs throughout the nervous system at all stages of
processing. This principle manifests in a variety of phenomena, from spike frequency …

We examine the dynamics of a neural code in the context of stimuli whose statistical
properties are themselves evolving dynamically. Adaptation to these statistics occurs over a …

Adaptation is a widespread phenomenon in nervous systems, providing flexibility to function
under varying external conditions. Here, we relate an adaptive property of a sensory system …

The visual system adapts to the magnitude of intensity fluctuations, and this process begins
in the retina. Following the switch from a low-contrast environment to one of high contrast …

The auditory system must represent sounds with a wide range of statistical properties. One
important property is the spectrotemporal contrast in the acoustic environment: the variation …

Rats responded on 2 levers delivering brain stimulation reward on concurrent variable
interval schedules. Following many successive sessions with unchanging relative rates of …

Our nervous system continuously combines new information from our senses with
information it has acquired throughout life. Numerous studies have found that human …

Behavior relies on the ability of sensory systems to infer properties of the environment from
incoming stimuli. The accuracy of inference depends on the fidelity with which behaviorally …

Adaptation is a hallmark of sensory function. Adapting optimally requires matching the
dynamics of adaptation to those of changes in the stimulus distribution. Here we show that …
