[HTML][HTML] Philosophy of the spike: rate-based vs. spike-based theories of the brain
R Brette - Frontiers in systems neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Does the brain use a firing rate code or a spike timing code? Considering this controversial
question from an epistemological perspective, I argue that progress has been hampered by …

The centrality of population-level factors to network computation is demonstrated by a versatile approach for training spiking networks
Neural activity is often described in terms of population-level factors extracted from the
responses of many neurons. Factors provide a lower-dimensional description with the aim of …
