A central question in sensory neuroscience is how much, but also what information neurons transmit about the world. While Shannon’s information theory provides a principled framework to quantify the amount of information neurons encode about all stimuli, it does not reveal which stimuli contribute m…
Neuroprostheses show potential in restoring lost sensory function and enhancing human capabilities, but the sensations produced by current devices often seem unnatural or distorted. Exact placement of implants and differences in individual perception lead to significant variations in stimulus respon…
In many applications, it is desirable to extract only the relevant aspects of data. A principled way to do this is the information bottleneck (IB) method, where one seeks a code that maximises information about a relevance variable, Y, while constraining the information encoded about the original d…
