What is the capacity of the axon of a spiking neuron, viewed as a communication channel, in bits per second? [See MacKay and McCulloch (1952) for an early publication on this topic.] Multiply by the number of axons in the optic nerve (about 106 ) or cochlear nerve (about 50 000 per ear) to estimate again the rate of acquisition sensory experience
