In neurosciencephase-of-firing code is a neural coding scheme that combines the spikecount code with a time reference based on slow oscillations. It has beenshown that neurons in some cortical sensory areas encode richnaturalistic stimuli in terms of their spike times relative to the phaseof ongoing network fluctuations, rather than only in terms of theirspike count. Oscillations reflect local field potential signals. It isoften categorized as a temporal code although the time label used forspikes is coarse grained. That is, four discrete values for phase areenough to represent all the information content in this kind of codewith respect to the phase of oscillations in low frequencies.Phase-of-firing code is loosely based on the phase precession phenomenaobserved in place cells of the hippocampus.…
