Population Coding There are a variety of neurons types needed to code for specific patterns of a stimulus. These neurons work together to encode information which cannot be done precisely by one neuron type alone. This principle is summarized by the theory of across-neuron response pattern (ANRP). Which states a stimulus will activate a uniquely different set of patterns to discriminate between another stimuli. This is depicted by the absolute difference of neural mass. Somatosensory system…
