Connectionists: Two related articles on Efficient Coding in the Brain

[Jeff Krichmar]

Dear Connectionists,

I don’t usually like to post papers to these lists. But, I thought it was more than just a coincidence that two papers from our group on how the brain efficiently represents information came out today.  Hope you enjoy.  Feedback is most welcome.
