Reverse spikeology: predicting single spikes.
Neural models that simulate single spike trains can help us understand the basic principles of neural coding in vision. Keat et al. (2001) develop a hybrid model that combines spatiotemporal filtering with nonlinear spike generation. The model does a good job of predicting the responses of single retinal ganglion cells and thalamic relay neurons.
