The paper shows that shared variability in sensory neurons aligns with task-relevant features and action plans, and that this alignment enhances behaviorally relevant information.

The paper shows that orthogonal neural representations in V4 allow stable perception of object position despite irrelevant background features in natural scenes.

The paper shows that perceptual performance and correlated variability in sensory cortex are inversely related due to observers using a general decoding strategy rather than optimal stimulus-specific decoding.

This study uses methylphenidate to test neural coding hypotheses and uncover its effects on visual attention and neuronal variability in rhesus macaques.

This paper uses topological data analysis to link neural activity, cognitive processes, and behavior by showing how topological changes in neural populations relate to task performance and model discrimination.

The paper shows that neuronal variability correlates with perceptual performance in visual tasks, suggesting shared mechanisms between attention and learning.
