duh, i googled the entire title and found a legit way to get the paper here:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/search/wrapper.jsp?arnumber=618072
but i was looking for a freebie.  the abstract is:

Spectral noise-shaping in integrate-and-fire neural networks
Adams, R.W.;
Neural Networks,1997., International Conference on
Volume 2,� 9-12 June 1997 Page(s):953 - 958 vol.2

Abstract:

A theory of coordinated neuronal firing events is proposed that allows the
low-noise transmission of analog signals through a network of coupled
neurons. The inherently high noise levels of a biological neuron can be
reduced over a specified frequency range using a network of interconnected
neurons. These interconnections cause certain statistical temporal patterns
to occur in the summed output of a modest number of neurons, and these
temporal patterns can dramatically improve the signal-to-noise ratio over a
given frequency range
