Stimuli reduce the dimensionality of cortical activity

Stimuli reduce the dimensionality of cortical activity

The activity of ensembles of simultaneously recorded neurons can be represented as a set of points in the space of firing rates. Even though the dimension of this space is equal to the ensemble size, neural activity can be effectively localized on smaller subspaces. The dimensionality of the neural...
