Most neurons in V1 are topologically organized in cortical columns, that coherently respond to a particular, preferred stimulus by increasing their discharge rate. From a statistical point of view, an increase of the frequency of action potentials is not sufficient to explain how neurons in V1 are able to bring together and compute complex stimuli. Modern theories of the primary visual pathway account for spatial and temporal aspects. In particular, the cell assembly hypothesis postulates dynamically interacting groups of neurons as the key mechanism for cortical information processing. As massively parallel extracellular recordings are becoming available, the limited experimental evidence in favor of the temporal coding hypothesis has to b...
