Three dimensional frames of reference transformations using gain modulated populations of neurons

This work investigates whether population vector coding could be a principle mechanism for sensorimotor transformations. This paper presents a formal demonstration of how population vector coding can proceed arbitrary 3-dimensional rotations and translations. The model suggests that population coding could be a possible mechanism for frames of reference transformations across multiple sensori-motor systems.
