Abstract

We extend the discussion in the target article about distinctions between extrinsic coding (external references to known things, as required by information theory) and the alternative we and the target article both favor, intrinsic coding (internal relationships within sensory and motor signals). Central to our thinking about intrinsic coding is population coding and the concept of high-dimensional neural response spaces.
