Rate coherence and event coherence in the visual cortex: a neuronal model of object recognition.

abstract：:The behavior of the space-clamped Hodgkin-Huxley model has been studied using band-limited white noise (0-50 Hz) as the input membrane current and taking the output as a point process in time given by the peaks of the action potentials. The frequency response and coherence functions were measured by use of the Fourier...

In previous experiments, we showed that crickets could home to an invisible cool spot in a hot environment. They did so most effectively with a natural scene surround, though they were also able to home with distinct landmarks or...
