Analyzing Neural Responses to Natural Signals: Maximally Informative Dimensions
Analyzing Neural Responses to Natural Signals: Maximally Informative Dimensions
We propose a method that allows for a rigorous statistical analysis of neural responses to natural stimuli that are nongaussian and exhibit strong correlations. We have in mind a model in which neurons are selective for a small number of stimulus dimensions out of a high-dimensional stimulus space, but within …
