Error-based analysis of optimal tuning functions explains phenomena observed in sensory neurons

Biological systems display impressive capabilities in effectively responding to environmental signals in real time. There is increasing evidence that organisms may indeed be employing near optimal Bayesian calculations in their decision-making. An intriguing question relates to the properties of opt...
