Independent neurons representing a finite set of stimuli: dependence of the mutual information on the number of units sampled | | Ines Samengo

1 Feb 2002 | | Subject: | Disordered Systems and Neural Networks; Neurons and Cognition | cond-mat.dis-nn q-bio.NC | | Abstract: | We study the capacity with which a system of independent neuron-like units represents a given set of stimuli. We assume that each neuron provides a fixed amount of information, and that the information provided by different neurons has a random overlap. We derive analytically the dependence of the mutual information between the set of stimuli and the neural responses on the number of units sampled. For a large set of stimuli, the mutual information rises linearly with the number of neurons, and later saturates exponentially at its maximum value. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0202023 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
