Efficient Olfactory Coding in the Pheromone Receptor Neuron of a Moth
Figure 7
Determination of the optimal Lagrange multiplier λ giving the optimal response probability distribution.
(A) Mutual information for the pheromone reception model in dependence on λ (Equation 21). (B) Mean half-fall time in dependence on λ (Equation 19). (C) Information transferred per average half-time representing the balance between the reactivity of the system and information transferred (Equation 20). Maximum occurs for λ≈6.
