Maximally Informative Dimensions

The technique of maximizing mutual information between the spike train and the stimulus is described in [1,2].

Our code has been migrated to github here: https://github.com/sharpee/. You will need git to download our code, but it's free to download.

More documentation is available here: https://github.com/sharpee/mid.
