Journal ArticleDOI
Correlated neuronal activity and the flow of neural information.
TL;DR: Experimental and theoretical results indicate that correlated fluctuations might be important for cortical processes, such as attention, that control the flow of information in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flutter discrimination: neural codes, perception, memory and decision making.
Ranulfo Romo,Emilio Salinas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the primary somatosensory cortex drives higher cortical areas where past and current sensory information are combined, such that a comparison of the two evolves into a behavioural decision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vector reconstruction from firing rates
Emilio Salinas,Larry F. Abbott +1 more
TL;DR: A new linear method, the optimal linear estimator (OLE), is presented that on average provides the best possible linear reconstruction and is compared with the more familiar vector method and shown to produce more accurate reconstructions using far fewer recorded neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Correlated Synaptic Input on Output Firing Rate and Variability in Simple Neuronal Models
TL;DR: A simple random walk model in which the membrane potential of a target neuron fluctuates stochastically, driven by excitatory and inhibitory spikes arriving at random times, shows that, in the balanced regime, weak correlations caused by signals shared among inputs may have a multiplicative effect on the input-output rate curve of a postsynaptic neuron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatosensory discrimination based on cortical microstimulation
TL;DR: As far as can be psychophysically quantified during discrimination, the neural code underlying the sensation of flutter can be finely manipulated, to the extent that the behavioural responses produced by natural and artificial stimuli are indistinguishable.
