Abstract: Deciphering a 'neural code' usually requires measurement of either the rate of spike (electrical impulses) production or the spike synchrony. However, these two measures are not independent, as higher rates are associated with higher synchrony. It is further shown that the connection between rate and synchrony enhances information coding.
