ABSTRACT
The goal of this chapter is to consider some of the fundamental implications of the event-sequence nature of neural activity. We approach this, primarily, from the point of view of function: we will look at some simple, idealized vignettes that highlight the implications of the event-sequence nature of neural activity for representing and processing information. While the issues that these vignettes raise are all related to
