Frequency coding indicates that the CNS determines the strength of a stimulus by the firing frequency of afferent neurons; a stronger stimulus results in a higher firing rate.
More strongly a neuron is stimulated the ore frequency it fires; CNS can judge stimulus strength from the firing frequency of afferent neurons
