Abstract

We reformulate the Equal Coding Theorem in sensory neural encoding
with ON- and OFF-neurons as a channel capacity problem. We then
present a capacity-based proof of the Equal Coding Theorem, and
generalize it to neurons with different firing probabilities. We
also briefly discuss the biological implications of this
generalization.
