Simulation of Code Spectrum and Code Flow of Cultured Neuronal Networks

Figure 13

Illustration of the communication within the neural network based on spatiotemporal pattern recognition. Each neuron can perform the roles of transmitting, receiving, and simply as a transmission media.

(a) The top three receiving neurons can detect the specific transmitting neuron among the four neurons from the spike wave fragment as a combination of spike codes (the spatiotemporal spike pattern)

(b) The same mechanism allows us to perceive where a bell is ringing in our surrounding atmosphere
