decoding theory

Decoding theory examines how information is interpreted from signals, like messages or data. It involves understanding how the brain, a computer, or any system transforms input signals into meaningful understanding or responses. Essentially, it studies the process of extracting useful information from raw data, accounting for factors like noise or errors that can distort messages. By analyzing decoding strategies, researchers aim to understand how accurate and efficient communication is achieved, whether in neural systems, digital communications, or natural language processing. It’s about unraveling the methods that convert complex signals into clear, actionable insights.
