Question

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond differently to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron 1 responding the most and neuron 3 responding the least. Roger's face causes three different neurons to fire, with neuron 7 responding the least and neuron 9 responding the most. Your results support ____ coding.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is Neural Coding.

Explanation:

Neural Coding tries to characterize the relationship between an stimulus and neuronal responses from the individual, and the behavior of said neurons in a specific neural ensemble. (Electric Activity).

Neural Coding explains that sensory information is represented in the brain by neurons and the networks of them.

In this case, different processing of faces cause different neurons to fire, which supports the theory of Neural Coding.
