The activity of [[neuron]]s in the brain can be modelled statistically. Each neuron at any time is either active + or inactive −. The active neurons are those that send an [[action potential]] down the axon in any given time window, and the inactive ones are those that do not. Because the neural activity at any one time is modelled by independent bits, [[
