Robust reconstruction of stimuli encoded by complex cells with stochastic ion channels. The BSGs are modeled as Hodgkin–Huxley point neurons with stochastic ion channels. For each noise level σ, we set \(10\sigma_{1} = \sigma_{2} = \sigma_{3} = \sigma\) where \(\sigma^{2}_{i}\), \(i=1,2,3\), are the variances of the independent Brownian motion process driving the gating variables n, m, and h, respectively. A larger σ represents a higher intrinsic noise strength
