The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

Sensory signals are highly structured in both space and time. These structural regularities in
visual information allow expectations to form about future stimulation, thereby facilitating …

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

Cognition results from interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed
brain regions; however, neuroscience has so far largely focused on characterizing the …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …

Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

The gradual and noisy accumulation of evidence is a fundamental component of decision-
making, with noise playing a key role as the source of variability and errors. However, the …

It is commonly believed that visual short-term memory (VSTM) consists of a fixed number of
“slots” in which items can be stored. An alternative theory in which memory resource is a …

Correlated spiking is often observed in cortical circuits, but its functional role is controversial.
It is believed that correlations are a consequence of shared inputs between nearby neurons …

During flexible behavior, multiple brain regions encode sensory inputs, the current task, and
choices. It remains unclear how these signals evolve. We simultaneously recorded neuronal …
