  bibo_abstract:
  - Across the nervous system, certain population spiking patterns are observed far
    more frequently than others. A hypothesis about this structure is that these collective
    activity patterns function as population codewords–collective modes–carrying information
    distinct from that of any single cell. We investigate this phenomenon in recordings
    of ∼150 retinal ganglion cells, the retina’s output. We develop a novel statistical
    model that decomposes the population response into modes; it predicts the distribution
    of spiking activity in the ganglion cell population with high accuracy. We found
    that the modes represent localized features of the visual stimulus that are distinct
    from the features represented by single neurons. Modes form clusters of activity
    states that are readily discriminated from one another. When we repeated the same
    visual stimulus, we found that the same mode was robustly elicited. These results
    suggest that retinal ganglion cells’ collective signaling is endowed with a form
    of error-correcting code–a principle that may hold in brain areas beyond retina.@eng
