  • Abstract
    An expression for the information content of a temporally modulated spike train is derived. With reference to published studies of the temporal encoding of visual stimuli by individual neurons, the expression suggests an information capacity of more than 5 bit/s. This result is insensitive to overspecification of the number of stimuli that the neuron is presumed able to resolve
