In neuroscience, the activity of neural populations (that is, groups of cells in the brain) constitutes a ‘neural code’ for representing information. The activity of brain cells "encodes" external information from our environment (i.e., sensory information received from our eyes, ears etc.) as well as internal information about choices and actions (decisions, movement etc.).
