PATTERN CODING

Introduction and Definition of Pattern Coding Pattern coding fundamentally addresses the method by which information is represented and transmitted within the nervous system, particularly concerning sensory input. It moves beyond simpler models of information transfer, positing that the meaning of a neural signal is encoded not merely by the average frequency of action potentials—known as […]

RANGE FRACTIONATION

Range Fractionation The Core Definition of Range Fractionation Range fractionation is a fundamental neural coding strategy employed by sensory systems to reliably encode a vast spectrum of stimulus intensities, a range often far exceeding the capacity of any single neuron. Hypothetically, this principle states that a wide range of values describing intensity—whether light brightness, sound […]
