The retina is a tissue placed on the posterior surface of the eye that encodes the visual information from the environment. This code is represented by action potentials or spikes transmitted along the optic nerve to the brain, whose characteristics depend on the visual stimulus that come to the retina. Currently, it is not still completely clear which coding strategies are employed by the retina to encode the visual information, although some of them have been assumed in the recent years. The present work evaluates some coding strategies to reconstruct visual stimuli corresponding to sequences of four light intensities randomly presented. This task was performed with combinations of three coding strategies: latency, first inter-spike interval and firing rate. The classification was based on linear discriminate analysis, with the aim to determine which combinations of coding strategies detect the information of the light intensities. The performance of the method depended on the coding strategies combinations and the specific light intensity to reconstruct.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
