To a large extent, progress in neuroscience has been driven by the study of single-cell
responses averaged over several repetitions of stimuli or behaviours. However,the brain typically …

Determining how neuronal activity represents sensory information is central for understanding
perception. Recent work shows that neural responses at different timescales can encode …

The past decade has witnessed a renewed interest in cortical local field potentials (LFPs) —
that is, extracellularly recorded potentials with frequencies of up to ∼500 Hz. This is due to …

Several neural codes have been proposed in order to explain how neurons encode sensory
information. Here we tested the hypothesis that different codes might be employed …

Measuring the information carried by neuronal activity is made difficult, particularly when
recording from mammalian cells, by the limited amount of data usually available, which results …

Why are some visual stimuli consciously detected, whereas others remain subliminal? We
investigated the fate of weak visual stimuli in the visual and frontal cortex of awake monkeys …

Cortical oscillations are likely candidates for segmentation and coding of continuous speech.
Here, we monitored continuous speech processing with magnetoencephalography (MEG) …

Information Theory enables the quantification of how much information a neuronal response
carries about external stimuli and is hence a natural analytic framework for studying neural …

Although the timing of single spikes is known to code for time-varying features of a sensory
stimulus, it remains unclear whether time is also exploited in the neuronal coding of the …

Local field potentials (LFPs) reflect subthreshold integrative processes that complement spike
train measures. However, little is yet known about the differences between how LFPs and …
