I will talk about some (in progress) work that I have been doing on the
role of bursting in thalamocortical information transmission. I intend
to 
<br>
1. Give an overview of the problem
<br>
2. Discuss some necessary material on the relationship of information
and signal detection theory, and
<br>
3. Present some preliminary results.
