Rank order coding

The idea that neurones transmit information using a rate code is extremely entrenched in the neuroscience community. The vast majority of neurophysiological studies simply describe neural responses in terms of firing rate, and while studies using Peri-Stimulus Time Histograms (PSTHs) are fairly common, only rarely does one get to see the underlying spikes in the form of a raster display. Even rarer are studies that provide information about how spikes are generated across a population of neurones.
