Line 1:
The '''rate coding''' model of [[neuron]]al firing communication states that as the intensity of a stimulus increases the [[frequency]] or '''rate''' of [[action potential]]s, or "spike firing", increases.
This [[phenomenon]] was originally shown by ED Adrian and Y Zotterman in 1926.{{ref|Adrian}} In this simple experiment different weights were hung from a [[muscle]]. As the weight of the stimulus increased, the number of spikes recorded also increased.
