What is the noun for "encoding"?

Question

I am currently writing a paper about how neurons encode a stimuli. We would like a noun for the process of encoding, something like "encodement". However, I am not sure whether this is the best choice. Any ideas?

It's "the encoding" :-)

See at Google Books:

"the encoding is performed"

What is performed is a "process."

Sometimes specialized names are used:

  If classifiers make uncorrelated errors, and codewords are maximally
  distant from one another, the encoding method is robust to errors made
  by the individual classifiers. The encoding is called an
  Error-Correcting Output Code (ECOC);
