Neural Implementation of Bayesian Inference in Population Codes

Abstract

This study investigates a population decoding paradigm, in which the estimation of stimulus in the previous step is used as prior knowledge for consecutive decoding. We analyze the decoding accu(cid:173) racy of such a Bayesian decoder (Maximum a Posteriori Estimate), and show that it can be implemented by a biologically plausible recurrent network, where the prior knowledge of stimulus is con(cid:173) veyed by the change in recurrent interactions as a result of Hebbian learning.
