On the structure of population activity under fluctuations in attentional state
Alexander S Ecker, George H Denfield, Matthias Bethge, Andreas S Tolias
The paper analyzes how attentional state fluctuations affect population neural responses in a model where attention modulates neuron gain, showing that attention increases response gain and reduces variability without altering correlation structure.
