The Influence of Population Size, Noise Strength and Behavioral Task on Best-Encoded Stimulus for Neurons with Unimodal or Monotonic Tuning Curves
Tuning curves and receptive fields are widely used to describe the selectivity of sensory neurons, but the relationship between firing rates and information is not always intuitive.Neither high firing rates nor high tuning curve gradients necessarily mean that stimuli at that part of the tuning curv...
