Temporal coding is a type of neural coding in which a neuron encodes information through the precise timing of action potentials, or spikes, on a millisecond time scale. Efforts have been made to differentiate the precise timing of spikes in a single neuron which encodes information about a stimulus from synchronized firing of neurons within a localized area. The latter is sometimes referred to as correlation coding.
