The ETIC project developed a novel computational approach that could successfully modify the precision of the neural response to analyse the neural code more efficiently.
The neural code describes how brains translate external stimuli into patterns of neural population activity. A collective pattern of signals, it determines the relationship between neural response and stimulus. Specifically, neural encoding investigates the link from the stimulus to the particular neuronal response, whereas neural decoding does the opposite.
