Understanding Codes and Decoding in Neural Activity

The process of encoding and decoding information in the brain is complex. While encoding involves translating a stimulus into patterns of neuron activity, decoding is more than just reversing this process. It requires transforming and computing the information to create different outputs. Although the specifics of decoding are still a broad question, it relies on the fact that information is encoded in neural activity, allowing other neurons to receive input and generate useful behavior.
