Coding stimulus amplitude by correlated neural activity
While correlated activity is observed ubiquitously in the brain, its role in neural coding has remained controversial. Recent experimental results have demonstrated that correlated but not single-neuron activity can encode the detailed time course of the instantaneous amplitude (i.e., envelope) of a stimulus. These have furthermore demonstrated that such coding required and was optimal for a no...
متن کاملStimulus background influences phase invariant coding by correlated neural activity
Previously we reported that correlations between the activities of peripheral afferents mediate a phase invariant representation of natural communication stimuli that is refined across successive processing stages thereby leading to perception and behavior in the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus (Metzen et al., 2016). Here, we explore how phase invariant coding and perception of n...
متن کاملAdaptation to Stimulus Contrast and Correlations during Natural Visual Stimulation
In this study, we characterize the adaptation of neurons in the cat lateral geniculate nucleus to changes in stimulus contrast and correlations. By comparing responses to high- and low-contrast natural scene movie and white noise stimuli, we show that an increase in contrast or correlations results in receptive fields with faster temporal dynamics and stronger antagonistic surrounds, as well as...
متن کاملOptimal Stimulus Coding by Populations
Researchers studying neural coding have speculated that populations would be more effective in representing the stimulus if the neurons “cooperated:” the neural responses were correlated in a stimulus-dependent way. As researchers begin to analyze population recordings, few have found what is termed synergy: a population coding efficiency greater than the sum of the individual contributions. We...
متن کاملTransformation of Stimulus Correlations by the Retina
Redundancies and correlations in the responses of sensory neurons may seem to waste neural resources, but they can also carry cues about structured stimuli and may help the brain to correct for response errors. To investigate the effect of stimulus structure on redundancy in retina, we measured simultaneous responses from populations of retinal ganglion cells presented with natural and artifici...
