Title:
A maximum entropy combinatorial code for two quite different neural systems

Speaker:
Chuck Stevens

Abstract:
In this talk I describe the fly olfactory encoding of odors, and the monkey encoding of human faces. These quite different systems will be shown to use the same maximum entropy combinatorial code. Roughly speaking, a maximum entropy combinatorial code will encode the largest number of objects with the smallest number of neurons.
