Sparse synaptic connectivity is required for decorrelation and pattern separation in feedforward networks

Input decorrelation, expansion recoding and sparse activity have been proposed to separate overlapping activity patterns in feedforward networks. Here the authors use reduced and detailed spiking models to elucidate how synaptic connectivity affects the contribution of these mechanisms to pattern se...
