In this richly illustrated book, it is shown how Shannon's mathematical theory of information defines absolute limits on neural efficiency; limits which ultimat

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries

Two distinguished neuroscientists distil general principles from more than a century of scientific study, “reverse engineering” the brain to understand its
