Small neural populations often express perceptual sensitivity of psychophysical observers, suggesting that stimulus properties are redundantly coded by correlated neurons. This implies the existence of 'information-limiting' structures in noise correlations, which limit information as the population size increases. However, the existence of such correl ... |
