Abstract
We study the noise properties of a population of spiking neurons of the integrate-and-fire type. We derive an analytical solution for homogeneous network of neurons with relative refractoriness. We show that anticorrelations in the firings decrease the noise in a frequency band that can extend beyond the single neuron frequency.
