Adding neurons may keep improving visual signals despite shared noise, analysis predicts
Our brains internally represent the outside world through the coordinated activity of billions of neurons. A single neuron responds unreliably: Even when the same stimulus is shown repeatedly, its activity varies from trial to trial. Neuron populations can compensate for this variability by representing the same information across many neurons, a strategy known as population coding.
