How do stimulus-dependent correlations between V1 neurons affect neural coding?

Nearby neurons in the visual cortex often partially synchronize their spiking activity. Despite the widespread observation of this phenomenon, its importance for visual coding and perception remains to be uncovered. We used information theory to study the coding of the contrast and direction of moti...
