Stimulus 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 کاملCoding 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 کاملCoding of envelopes by correlated but not single-neuron activity requires neural variability.
Understanding how the brain processes sensory information is often complicated by the fact that neurons exhibit trial-to-trial variability in their responses to stimuli. Indeed, the role of variability in sensory coding is still highly debated. Here, we examined how variability influences neural responses to naturalistic stimuli consisting of a fast time-varying waveform (i.e., carrier or first...
متن کاملNeocortical activity is stimulus- and scale-invariant
Mounting evidence supports the hypothesis that the cortex operates near a critical state, defined as the transition point between order (large-scale activity) and disorder (small-scale activity). This criticality is manifested by power law distribution of the size and duration of spontaneous cascades of activity, which are referred as neuronal avalanches. The existence of such neuronal avalanch...
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...
