When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different

ly 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:

Sparse coding

Explanation:

Sparse coding can be described or explained as a situation where items are encoded or represented by strong activation of a relatively small sets of neurons.

It should be understood that neurons code for the intensity of stimulus , and this is done in two ways which are

* Frequency coding...here, the firing rate of sensory neurons increases with increased intensity, and

* Population coding....here, the number of primary afferent responding increases.

In this case, the results derived or gotten from both Arthur's and Roger's faces supported the sparse coding.

Estimating the Age of a Rock Layer
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Relative dating is the technique to calculate the age of an ancient materials in comparison to another material's age. Layer A is less older, if layer B lies beneath it. Layer A may be 2.5 to 3 million years old.

Explanation:

Before discovery of radioactive carbon dating method, geologists make use of relative dating method in order to determine the age of rock or fossils. The relative dating procedure often referred to as stratigraphy. Though this procedure is not capable of predict absolute age or dating. In relative dating, is mainly based on the fact that the older rock layers will be deeper in respect to the less older rock layer.
