Correlated Firing Improves Stimulus Discrimination in a Retinal Model
2004
Neural Computation
Synchronous firing limits the amount of information that can be extracted by averaging the firing rates of similarly tuned neurons. Here, we show that the loss of rate-coded information between retinal ganglion cells due to synchronous oscillations can be overcome by exploiting the information encoded by the correlations themselves. Two very different models, one based on axon-mediated inhibitory feedback, the other on oscillatory common input, were used to generate artificial spike trains
