Fig. 9. Reducing energy consumption with distributed coding in spiking neurons. The
energy requirements for encoding 1 of 100 conditions initially decrease but
subsequently increase as the number of active neurons increases (for cells
signalling with spike rates below 60 Hz). As the spike rate increases the
region of the parameter space in which distributed coding is advantageous
becomes smaller. Adapted from Attwell and Laughlin
(Attwell and Laughlin,
2001).
