    The temporal structure of a spike train or firing rate evoked by a stimulus is determined both by the dynamics of the stimulus and by the nature of the neural encoding process. Stimuli that change rapidly tend to generate precisely timed spikes [28] (and rapidly changing firing rates in PSTHs) no matter what neural coding strategy is being used ...
