Illustration of I(1) for 2 binary neurons and a binary stimulus (p(s) = 0.5). Only the first-order statistics of each neuron are assumed to be known. The results for 2 different first order statistics are shown. (A and D) The first-order statistics in the 2 cases. (B and E) The minimum information distribution p^MI(r|s) for the statistics in A and D, respectively. (C and F) The information in all distributions satisfying the given first-order statistics in A and D, respectively. The yellow dot shows the location of the MinMl distribution in this information plane, and the white square shows the Cl distribution. The X and Y axes correspond to the probability of both neurons firing for stimuli s = 1,2.
