— Recurrent networks and hardware analogs that perform a winner-take-all computation have been studied extensively. This computation is rarely demonstrated in a spiking network o...
We study the problemof statisticallycorrect inference in networks whose basic representations are population codes. Population codes are ubiquitous in the brain, and involve the s...
We present a general encoding-decoding framework for interpreting the activity of a population of units. A standard population code interpretation method, the Poisson model, start...
Parsimony pressure, the explicit penalization of larger programs, has been increasingly used as a means of controlling code growth in genetic programming. However, in many cases p...
Population codes often rely on the tuning of the mean responses to the stimulus parameters. However, this information can be greatly suppressed by long range correlations. Here we...
