The neural coding of stimulus intensity: linking the population response of mechanoreceptive afferents with psychophysical behavior

How specific aspects of a stimulus are encoded at different stages of neural processing is a critical question in sensory neuroscience. In the present study, we investigated the neural code underlying the perception of stimulus intensity in the somatosensory system. We first characterized the respon...
