	I'm making some studies on the theoretical capabilities of neural
systems. I need  information concerning the resolution of neurons.
For example, what is the order of variance in measured firing frequencies ? Thiscould be a measure of inherent uncertainty, and hence of resolution. Also, 
how accurate are the methods/instruments used to make such measurements ?

	None of the work I've read so far addresses these issues, and I would
be grateful if someone could post/e-mail potentially useful references. I will
post a summary if there is sufficient interest.
