Resumen:
We applied an information theoretic approach to gain insights of therole of spike correlations in the neuronal code. We used a modifiedversion of the information components breakdown to quantify thecontribution of individual members of the population, the interactionbetween them, and the overall information encoded by the ensemble ofneurons, making especial emphasis on the separation betweencontributions due to the noise and signal spike correlations. Wepresent examples of applications of this formalism to simultaneousrecordings of multiple spike trains and provide an estimate of theimpact of higher order correlations.
