Abstract
In discussions of coarse coding, previous results have suggested that the larger the overlap between receptive fields is made, the sharper the achievable hyperacuity becomes. This note moderates this view by giving for an array of noisy analog receptors the scaling laws for the best achievable hyperacuity as a function of increasing receptive field size.
