======================================
1.1 introdunction
neuros represent and transmit information by firing sequences of spikes in various temporal patterns， whereas neural coding/decoding involes relationship between stimulus and spikes.
neural encoding:stimulus->response neural decoding:response->stimulus
[properties of neuron]
neuron := (input->)dendrites->cell->axon->synapses(->output)
process of a neuron: ion channels, membrane potential, hyperpolariztion and depolarization, action potential, synapse with neurotrasmmiter
[recording neuronal responses]
[from stimulus to response]
it tells natural coding is difficult for relationship is complex and variable.
neurons response= f ( stimulus, intrinsic dynamics, others)
even same stimulus, trial of response may different.
population coding
1.2 sipke trains and firing rates
p(t), r(t), r, <r> := neural response function, firing rate, spike-count rate(1.6), trial average rate(1.7)
[measuring firing rates]
there are some methods for approxing firing rates from some trials.
[tuning curves]
tuning curve is a function from stilunus sttributes to response attributes like frequency.
[spike-count variability]
1.3 what makes a neuron fire
[describe the stimulus]
1.4 spike train ststistics
