rate coding
[/reɪt ˈkoʊdɪŋ/]
noun
codificação por frequência de disparo
1. A neural coding scheme in which information is represented by the firing rate (frequency of action potentials) of neurons, where higher firing rates encode stronger or more intense stimuli
In rate coding, a neuron's response to visual stimuli is proportional to the intensity of the light stimulus.
Na codificação por frequência de disparo, a resposta de um neurônio aos estímulos visuais é proporcional à intensidade do estímulo luminoso.
2. A fundamental principle in neuroscience and computational neurobiology that assumes the brain encodes information primarily through variations in neuronal firing frequencies
Rate coding explains how the auditory system encodes sound intensity through increased firing rates in cochlear neurons.
A codificação por frequência de disparo explica como o sistema auditivo codifica a intensidade do som através do aumento da frequência de disparo nos neurônios cocleares.
Rate coding is a fundamental concept in neuroscience and cognitive science that is extensively studied in both Brazilian and American universities. It represents a core principle in understanding how the brain processes information at the neuronal level. The term is used consistently across English and Portuguese-speaking scientific communities without significant regional variations in meaning.
