Abstract
We consider the application of Gaussian channel theory (GCT) to the problem of estimating the rate of information transmission through a nonlinear channel such as a neural element. We suggest that, contrary to popular belief, GCT can be applied to neural systems even when the dynamics are highly nonlinear. We show that, under suitable conditions, the Gaussianity of the response is not compromised and hence GCT can be usefully applied. Using the GCT approach we develop a new method for estimating information rates in the time domain. Finally, using this new method, we show that a recently introduced form of stochastic resonance, termed suprathreshold stochastic resonance, is also displayed by the information rate.
