Constructing well-motivated methodologies for quantifying similarity between high-dimensional neural representations is an active research in computational neuroscience. Such similarity measures have implications for understanding variability in neural computations across individuals and species [1], as well as for comparisons between biological systems and computational models [2]. One common approach to understand these systems is to build regression models or “decoders” that reconstruct features of the stimulus from neural responses. Here, we leverage this idea to quantify the similarity of
