title: Neural processing: the logic of multiplication in single neurons.
abstract: Theory indicates that neural networks can derive considerable computational power from a simple multiplication of their inputs, but the extent to which real neurons do this is unclear. A recent study of the auditory localization pathway of the barn owl has shed new light on this important question.
