Abstract: A fundamental problem of psychophysics is an inverse problem: induce underlying cellular or network mechanisms from signal patterns. The patterns may be observed at various level: from EEG, extracellular, or intracellular recording or from psychological experiments. IN each case the recorded pattern is an ensemble of events taking place at a finer, and usually unobservable, level. At the center of the work presented in this article is the following simple question: Which intracellular signal patterns are the result of basic single-cell membrane mechanisms and how are these patterns altered as membrane parameters change? In other words, we will be considering the inverse problem at the level of the single cell.
