Abstract:We take the testing perspective to understand what the minimal discrimination
time between two stimuli is for different types of rate coding neurons. Our
main goal is to describe the testing abilities of two different encoding
systems: place cells and grid cells. In particular, we show, through the notion
of adaptation, that a fixed place cell system can have a minimum discrimination
time that decreases when the stimuli are further away. This could be a
considerable advantage for the place cell system that cou… Show more
