Understanding the brain as an 'information processing device' is a
commonplace. Although this expression is widely used within and
outside of neuroscience, it does not really express a precise
understanding of neuronal processes. This book intends to provide a
conceptual clarification by defining the term 'spike pattern' and
by evaluating the application of this concept within the framework
of neural coding and neural computation. This scientific endeavor
is complemented by a historical investigation that analyzes the
historical roots of today's discussion on the information
processing brain. The scientific part also includes a review of
current theories of neural coding and neural information processing
and an in-depth discussion of pattern detection in neuronal spike
trains. Possibilities and limitations of several pattern detection
methods are outlined in detail and integrated in a general scheme
of the spike pattern detection problem.
