Population codes assume that neural systems represent sensory inputs through the firing
rates of populations of differently tuned neurons. However, trial-by-trial variability and noise …

Classical analytical approaches for examining multisensory processing in individual
neurons have relied heavily on changes in mean firing rate to assess the presence and …

The spiking activity of cortical neurons is highly variable. This variability is generally
correlated among nearby neurons, an effect commonly interpreted to reflect the coactivation …

From the perspective of neural coding, the considerable trial-to-trial variability in the
responses of neurons to sensory stimuli is puzzling. Trial-to-trial response variability is …

Interocular decorrelation of input signals in developing visual cortex can cause impaired
binocular vision and amblyopia. Although increased intrinsic noise is thought to be …

Neurons in macaque cortical area MSTd are driven by visual motion and eye movement
related signals. This multimodal characteristic makes MSTd an ideal system for studying the …

Neurons across the visual system provide estimates of the visual features they encode.
However, the reliability of those estimates can vary across the neuronal population. Here …

Spiral waves have been found to appear alternatively with plane waves in the brain cerebral
cortex, which has a significant effect on neuron firing behaviors. In this paper, we propose a …

Key points• The receptive fields of neurons in the middle temporal (MT) area of primate
visual cortex are an important stage in motion analysis. Some neurons in MT (pattern cells) …

When we look at a lecturer, we usually do not doubt his reality. We can see him, hear him,
we are convinced that were we to come up and touch him he would be there. And yet, all this …
