We introduce a method for quantitatively studying the effects of the signal encoding and transmission processes on the rates of transmission of multiple sources of information over one spike train, using the multiple access channel model from network information theory. To illustrate this method we study the effects of a small set of synaptic input patterns and input signal power spectra on the information capacity region of a simple three-neuron system.}, msc2010 = {I.2.6 (J.3xx I.6.3)}, identifier = {01928005}, }
