Back in 1948, Shannon introduced Information Theory with his landmark paper “A mathematical theory of communication”[1]. Since then, Neuroscience has been treated by researchers as a major field of application of this new theory, beyond its original scope. A recent special issue of the Journal of Computational Neuroscience on Methods of Information Theory in Neuroscience Research focuses on current methods and applications of Information Theory to neural systems.
