论文摘要
我们提出了一种基于解码的方法来检测纵向神经记录数据中对神经代码的影响。这种方法不可知论在神经活动中如何编码信息，并且可以控制数据中存在的各种可能的混杂因素。我们通过确定是否可以解码鼠标前额叶皮层编码的位置来证明我们的方法，并进一步测试编码是否由于任务参与而发生的变化。
We propose a decoding-based approach to detect context effects on neural codes in longitudinal neural recording data. The approach is agnostic to how information is encoded in neural activity, and can control for a variety of possible confounding factors present in the data. We demonstrate our approach by determining whether it is possible to decode location encoding from prefrontal cortex in the mouse and, further, testing whether the encoding changes due to task engagement.
