2. What tuning can generalise e.g the same neuron can detect a stimulus based on similarity to a prototypical representation?

  • Response tuning
  • Broad tuning
  • Detector tuning
  • Specific tuning

3. Which of these is NOT true of the firing rates of neurons?

  • Represent certainty of processing
  • Be interpreted as the probability the particular stimulus is present
  • Reflect and represent uncertainty
  • Signal a degree of match between input and 'preferred value'

4. In a raster plot, what does a dot represent?

  • A spike
  • An experimental trial
  • Time
  • How many spikes fired in a given period

5. What are 2 issues with the detector analogy?

  • There is ambiguity in the firing rate in individual neurons and the threshold for each 'detector' is poorly defined with current technology
  • Is a unique neuron required for every perceivable percept/concept/action and there is ambiguity in the firing rate in individual neurons
