Abstract
Temporal code-driven stimulation is a new closed-loop stimulation method for information processing research in biological systems. The biological signal is processed and an event-based binary digitization is performed in real time. Patterns of temporal activity in the system are matched with binary codes and stimulation is triggered after the detection of a predetermined code. This paper presents the characteristics of this closed-loop methodology together with novel analytical possibilities derived from using an information-theoretic approach. The implementation of this method for its application to the study of coding schemes in fish electroreception is presented. Finally, our preliminary results showed that code-driven stimulation decreases the discharge frequency of the electric fish and increases the probability of sparser codes. The relation between those two measures can be used to assess the analysis of factors involved in the information processing in the system.
