Comparing noisy neural population dynamics using optimal transport distances

Amin Nejatbakhsh, Victor Geadah, Alex Williams, David Lipshutz · COSYNE 2025

Neural systems form high-dimensional representations that underpin their computational capabilities. Consequently, methods for quantifying representational similarity in neural representations have become a popular tool for identifying computational principles that are potentially shared across neural systems. These methods generally assume that neural responses are deterministic and static. However, responses of biological systems are noisy and dynamically unfold over time and these characteristics can have substantial influence on a system’s computational capabilities. We first show that exi
