Table 2 Halting criteria comparison. In the first column, the transmitted information h ˜ , averaged over all 183 cells, is given for clustering to the central response (central) and to an alternative central response with a different criterion for halting the process of adding spikes (alternative). For (central), the central response has the same number of spikes as the average, rounding down, for the cluster it summarizes. For (alternative) spikes are added to the central response while the δE given in Eq. (9) remains negative. The second column gives the average number of spikes for each. The third column gives the fraction of cells for which (alternative) has a h ˜ value great than the h ˜ value for (central), the fourth column gives the average relative value, with the one-sigma variation
