Scientists have integrated cutting edge findings in cross-species translational research to develop a unified multi-level model of attention
Neurons are noisy. Even when we view successive presentations of the same stimulus, the responses of a given neuron will vary. Moreover, this noise is correlated between neurons. Because correlated variability cannot be removed by averaging over the population, it can distort population responses to different stimuli, reducing the certainty of what stimulus occurred at […]
