摘要
The magnitude of neural responses in sensory cortex depends on the intensity of a stimulus and its probability of being observed within the environment. How these two variables combine to influence the overall response of cortical populations remains unknown. Here we show that, in primary visual cortex, the vector magnitude of the population response is described by a separable power law that factors the intensity of a stimulus and its probability. Moreover, the discriminability between two contrast levels in a cortical population is proportional to the logarithm of the contrast ratio. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The magnitude of neural responses in sensory cortex depends on the intensity of a stimulus and its probability of being observed within the environment. The authors show that, in primary visual cortex, the vector magnitude of the population response is described by a separable power law that factors the intensity of a stimulus and its probability.
