Abstract
This tech brief concerns the problem of the neural code and a new approach to the neural coding problem. Briefly stated, the problem of the neural code is this: What is the organization of the system or systems of information coding in the brain? The problem was first raised in 1956 by John von Neumann and to this day has remained one of the outstanding unsolved problems of theoretical neuroscience. Von Neumann saw the neural coding problem as analogous to a “brain language.” <br />
