'''Ensemble coding''', also known as '''ensemble perception''' or '''summary representation''', is a theory in [[cognitive neuroscience]] about the internal representation of groups of objects in the [[human mind]]. Ensemble coding proposes that such information is recorded via [[summary statistics]], particularly the [[average]] or [[variance]]. Experimental evidence tends to support the theory for low-level visual information, such as shapes and sizes, as well as some high-level features such as face [[gender]]. Nonetheless, it remains unclear the extent to which ensemble coding applies to high-level or non-visual stimuli, and the theory remains the subject of active research.
