      abstract = {Biological sensory systems encode environmental  information through large populations of receptors whose  activity reaches the brain as parallel spike trains.  Understanding how these signals are transformed and which  stimulus features are most meaningful to the organism is a  central challenge in neuroscience. This dissertation  illustrates a comprehensive, data‑driven framework for  analyzing relationships between stimuli and their neural  representations, complementing traditional  hypothesis‑driven approaches. Stimulus sets and neural  responses are characterized either categorically or within  continuous similarity spaces, and analytical methods are  adapted or developed to quantify input–output  relationships. Across the datasets examined, stimulus  timing consistently emerged as a key feature governing  neural encoding.},
