Abstract
Bialek et al. (1991) put the theme of the present part on encoding dynamic information very succinctly: “Traditional approaches to neural coding characterize the encoding of known stimuli in average neural responses. Organisms face nearly the opposite task-extracting information about an unknown time-dependent stimulus from short segments of a spike train”. Warzecha and Egelhaaf review their elegant experiments dealing with these difficult and topical issues. This article is intended to complement their efforts by reviewing literature and ideas that their work has made important again with a particular focus on adaptive effects.
