Jointly efficient encoding and decoding in neural populations

Dependence of the results on the population size.
Solid curves illustrate the mean across different initializations and shaded regions correspond to one standard deviation. Same simulations as in Fig 4, with different values of the population size. (A) Optimal solutions (blue curves), 
, for different population sizes, N, (legend in panel B) and theoretical bound (black curve), 
, in the rate-distortion plane. (B) Kullback-Leibler divergence between the stimulus and the generative distributions, as a function of 
. (C) MSE in the stimulus estimate, obtained as the MAP, as a function of 
.
