| contents | In many biological networks the responses of individual elements are ambiguous. We consider a scenario in which many sensors respond to a shared signal, each with limited information capacity, and ask that the outputs together convey as much information as possible about an underlying relevant variable. In a low noise limit where we can make analytic progress, we show that individually ambiguous responses optimize overall information transmission. |
