Stimulus-dependent Maximum Entropy Models of Neural Population Codes
Figure 7
Measured vs predicted noise correlations for the pairwise SDME (S2) model.
Noise correlation (see text) is estimated from recorded data for every pair of neurons, and plotted against the noise correlation predicted by the S2 model (each pair of neurons = one dot; shown are dots for
neurons; for significantly correlated pairs, the slope of the best fit line is
, with
). Conditionally independent models predict zero noise correlation for all pairs.
