Synergy, Redundancy, and Independence in Population Codes (2003, background): “Studies of population decoding have examined how animals might extract information from multiple spike trains (Georgopoulos et al., 1986; Abeles et al., 1993; Zohary et al., 1994; Warland et al., 1997; Brown et al., 1998; Hatsopoulos et al., 1998), as well as the limits of possible decoding algorith”
Neuromodulation of brain states. (2012, unknown): “…green arrows, projections from neuromodulatory centers to the cortex. that attention also causes a decrease in stimulus-independent correlated firing between neurons (Cohen and Maunsell, 2009; Mitchell et al., 2009), which may improve sensory encoding at the ensemble level (Zohary et al., 1994).”
