Neural tuning and representational geometry

N Kriegeskorte, XX Wei - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2021‏ - nature.com
A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

Waking state: rapid variations modulate neural and behavioral responses

MJ McGinley, M Vinck, J Reimer, R Batista-Brito… - Neuron, 2015‏ - cell.com
The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Spontaneous behaviors drive multidimensional, brainwide activity

C Stringer, M Pachitariu, N Steinmetz, CB Reddy… - Science, 2019‏ - science.org
INTRODUCTION In the absence of sensory inputs, the brain produces structured patterns of
activity, which can be as large as or larger than sensory-driven activity. Ongoing activity …

High-dimensional geometry of population responses in visual cortex

C Stringer, M Pachitariu, N Steinmetz, M Carandini… - Nature, 2019‏ - nature.com
A neuronal population encodes information most efficiently when its stimulus responses are
high-dimensional and uncorrelated, and most robustly when they are lower-dimensional …

Rastermap: a discovery method for neural population recordings

C Stringer, L Zhong, A Syeda, F Du, M Kesa… - Nature …, 2025‏ - nature.com
Neurophysiology has long progressed through exploratory experiments and chance
discoveries. Anecdotes abound of researchers listening to spikes in real time and noticing …

[HTML][HTML] Cortical areas interact through a communication subspace

JD Semedo, A Zandvakili, CK Machens, MY Byron… - Neuron, 2019‏ - cell.com
Most brain functions involve interactions among multiple, distinct areas or nuclei. For
instance, visual processing in primates requires the appropriate relaying of signals across …

Dynamic modulation of decision biases by brainstem arousal systems

JW de Gee, O Colizoli, NA Kloosterman, T Knapen… - elife, 2017‏ - elifesciences.org
Decision-makers often arrive at different choices when faced with repeated presentations of
the same evidence. Variability of behavior is commonly attributed to noise in the brain's …

Correlations and neuronal population information

A Kohn, R Coen-Cagli, I Kanitscheider… - Annual review of …, 2016‏ - annualreviews.org
Brain function involves the activity of neuronal populations. Much recent effort has been
devoted to measuring the activity of neuronal populations in different parts of the brain under …

Neural variability and sampling-based probabilistic representations in the visual cortex

G Orbán, P Berkes, J Fiser, M Lengyel - Neuron, 2016‏ - cell.com
Neural responses in the visual cortex are variable, and there is now an abundance of data
characterizing how the magnitude and structure of this variability depends on the stimulus …

[HTML][HTML] High-precision coding in visual cortex

C Stringer, M Michaelos, D Tsyboulski, SE Lindo… - Cell, 2021‏ - cell.com
Individual neurons in visual cortex provide the brain with unreliable estimates of visual
features. It is not known whether the single-neuron variability is correlated across large …
