The Sign Rule and Beyond: Boundary Effects, Flexibility, and Noise Correlations in Neural Population Codes
Over repeat presentations of the same stimulus, sensory neurons show variable responses. This "noise" is typically correlated between pairs of cells, and a question with rich history in neuroscience is how these noise correlations impact the population's ability to encode the stimulus. Here, we consider a very general setting for …
