On the stochastic dynamics of neuronal interaction

The response of many neurons in the nervous system is a nonlinear function of membrane potential. Nevertheless, if the membrane potentials are normally distributed then their covariance satisfies a linear equation. This suggests that information in the nervous system may be processed by correlations between membrane potentials, a hypothesis which is subject to direct experimental test. The acquisition, storage, and retrieval of information in the form of correlations is consistent with present knowledge of human information processing.
