Topic: conditionally shuffled data

In many brain regions, tuning to stimuli and behaviour gradually changes over the course of days and weeks in a phenomenon known as representational drift. The rate of drift varies across cells in a population, and it remains unclear what underlies this heterogeneity. In this study, we explored whether drift is influenced by a neuron's propensity to synchronise or desynchronise its activity with other neurons in the population. Using data from parietal cortex (Driscoll et al. 2017) and visual cortex (Marks & Goard 2021), we evaluated pairwise encodings of task information to derive measure
