Large-scale two-photon imaging revealed super-sparse population codes in the V1 superficial layer of awake monkeys

One general principle of sensory information processing is that the brain must optimize efficiency by reducing the number of neurons that process the same information. The sparseness of the sensory representations in a population of neurons reflects the efficiency of the neural code. Here, we employ...
