'''Neural coding''' (or '''neural representation''') is a [[neuroscience]] field concerned with characterising the hypothetical relationship between the [[Stimulus (physiology)|stimulus]] and the neuronal responses, and the relationship among the [[Electrophysiology|electrical activities]] of the neurons in the [[Neuronal ensemble|ensemble]].<ref name="Brown">{{cite journal |vauthors=Brown EN, Kass RE, Mitra PP |title=Multiple neural spike train data analysis: state-of-the-art and future challenges |journal=Nat.
