Population coding Flashcards
1
Q
Common untrue assumption
A
Each motor neuron codes for a different direction of movement.
2
Q
Population vector
A
Brain weighs all evidence of the neurons. The strongest decides direction of the movement
3
Q
Turning curve
A
Each motor neuron has a preferred direction of movement on which it shows max activation. Other directions also produce activity but lower (!!)
4
Q
Population coding
A
General principle, the way of neural coding across a set of neurons
5
Q
Movement biases
A
Inactivated area shows deflection of eye movement because it’s not weighted in the population coding.
