What does it mean to say that a certain set of spikes is the right answerto a computational problem? In what sense does a spike train convey informationabout the sensory world? Spikes begins by providing precise formulations of theseand related questions about the representation of sensory signals in neural spiketrains. The answers to these questions are then pursued in experiments on sensoryneurons.Intended for neurobiologists with an interest in mathematical analysis ofneural data as well as the growing number of physicists and mathematiciansinterested in information processing by "real" nervous systems, Spikes provides aself-contained review of relevant concepts in information theory and statisticaldecision theory.
