A neuron is considered as a stimulus selective system. Stimuli from the stimulus ensemble (SE) presented to the neuron, which are associated with the generation of an action potential, form the peri-event stimulus ensemble (PESE). The relation between PESE and SE is analysed on the basis of characteristic functionals. Examples are given for different models of the neuron. For a multiplicative model a simple relation between the characteristic functional of stimulus ensemble and peri-event stimulus ensemble exists.
