Information Theory/Population Coding
B.B. Averbeck, P. E. Latham, and A. Pouget.
Neural correlations, population coding and computation.
Nat Rev Neurosci, 7:358-66, 2006.
This review paper contains many references on the relationship
between
population coding and correlations, using both Shannon and
Fisher
information.
P.E. Latham and S. Nirenberg.
Synergy, redundancy, and independence in population codes,
revisited.
J Neurosci, 25:5195-5206, 2005.
S. Nirenberg and P. E. Latham.
Decoding neuronal spike trains: how important are
correlations?
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A., 100:7348-7353, 2003.
These two papers go through all the details for Shannon
information.
E. Schneidman, W. Bialek, and M. J. Berry
2nd.
Synergy, redundancy, and independence in population codes.
J Neurosci, 23:11539-11553, 2003.
This paper gives the other side of the debate, arguing against
the
above two papers.
