Advances in Neural Population Coding: Nicolelis: 9780444501103: Book: Medical: eCampus.com

A collective research effort by scientists working in laboratories aro und the world, this book addresses issues covering all aspects of neur al population coding. This volume, with contributions from distinguish ed neuroscientists, is divided into six sections containing a historic al overview of the concept of neural population, introducing a series of new experimental paradigms and analytical techniques for investigat ing potential neural coding schemes and four sections focusing on rece nt advances in population coding in a broad range of areas of brain re search.
