Abstract:Understanding how sensory information is encoded by populations of neurons is complicated by the fact that neurons display variability in their responses to repeated presentations of the same stimulus. A further complication comes from the fact that these variabilities can be correlated. In fact, the role of correlations in neural variabilities (noise correlations) has been the focus of much debate in recent years as even a small amount of correlation between a pair of neurons can have dramatic effects on info… Show more
