Temporal patterning of neural responses. Example cross-correlation of neural responses to a set of force-matched trials for two textures between two slowly adapting (SA) neurons (A), between two rapidly adapting (RA) neurons (B), and a RA and a SA neuron (C). This shows that pairs of neurons are correlated, and that correlation depends on texture. Texture decoding using all pairwise joint firing rates, all single unit activity in the population, and both single unit and joint firing rate activity for monkey M (D) and for monkey B (E). Dashed black lines indicate chance, computed as average classification accuracy using firing rates with shuffled time bins. a.u., Arbitrary units.
