Figure 1From: Optimal signal detection with neuronal diversity: balancing the gullible and the prudent neuronsTop: Illustrative random networks with neuronal diversity in the threshold parameter θ. Bottom: Maximal dynamic range Δmax (as defined in ref. [6]) reached by networks with binomial (left), uniform (center), and gamma (right) distributions (bottom). Networks with binomial distribution have a proportion of integrator neurons with θ=2, whereas the remainders are non-integrator neurons (θ=1). The threshold In the uniform distribution varies from 1 to θmax. Network size is 5000 neurons.Back to article page
