This is motivated in part by the following TODOs:

More generally, we should look more carefully at profiling decode neurons (formerly called "interneurons") under a wide variety of conditions (frequency, tau, dynamic range, number of neurons), and characterize / identify their dynamical behaviour, so that we may improve these methods and optimize their parameters.
