  abstract = {We present a method based
	 on information-theoreti distances for measuring the information
	 transfer efficiency of voltage to impulse encoders. In response to light
	 pulses, we simultaneously recorded the EPSP and spiking output of
	 crayfish sustaining fibers. To measure the distance between analog
	 EPSP responses, we developed a membrane noise model that accurately
	 captures stimulus-induced nonstationarities. By comparing the EPSP
	 and spike responses, we found encoding efficiencies on the order
	 of $10^{-4}$, with interesting dynamics occurring during initial
	 transients. A simple analog to point-process converter predicted the small
	 information transfer efficiencies and dynamic properties we measured.},
