Effects of the synaptic strength on the performance of the population rate coding. The value of Q as a function of for different values of p, with noise intensities D = 0.05 (a) and D = 2 (b). We choose the scale factor k = 10 for a and b. The value of Q as a function of
for different values of k, with noise intensities D = 0.05 (c) and D = 2 (d). The successful transmission probability p is fixed at 0.1 for c and d. The synaptic time constant is τs = 5 ms in all cases
