[PDF][PDF] Perceptual decision-making as probabilistic inference by neural sampling

RM Haefner, P Berkes, J Fiser - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
We address two main challenges facing systems neuroscience today: understanding the
nature and function of cortical feedback between sensory areas and of correlated variability. …

Inferring decoding strategies from choice probabilities in the presence of correlated variability

RM Haefner, S Gerwinn, JH Macke, M Bethge - Nature neuroscience, 2013 - nature.com
… Given that we assumed the r k to be normally distributed, D is also normally distributed,
as is . Applying the formula for the mean and variance of conditional Gaussians, we found …

Feedback determines the structure of correlated variability in primary visual cortex

Bayesian encoding and decoding as distinct perspectives on neural coding

…, S Shivkumar, A Chattoraj, RM Haefner - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
… s from r (gold arrow from r to p(s|r)). … r encode that uncertainty (blue arrows). In Bayesian
decoding, the ‘likelihood’ refers to \(\text{p}\)(r|s), and the inference problem is to recover s from r. …

A neural basis for the spatial suppression of visual motion perception

LD Liu, RM Haefner, CC Pack - Elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.16167.001 In theory, sensory perception should be more accurate when
more neurons contribute to the representation of a stimulus. However, psychophysical …

Characterizing and interpreting the influence of internal variables on sensory activity

RD Lange, RM Haefner - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2017 - Elsevier
… On a neurophysiological level, we seek a similar description in terms of the responses (r)
