Neuronal Ensemble Decoding Using a Dynamical Maximum Entropy Model

Figure 2

Ensemble state changes and its estimation. (a) Grey arrows represent change of states 𝑤_𝑖,𝑗∈Ω_𝑆𝑖𝑓 for a specific stimulus 𝑆_𝑘. (b) Estimated ensemble state transition of Φ_𝑠,𝑠′(𝑤,𝑤^′) for different external inputs. For each transition from 𝑆_𝑖 to 𝑆_𝑗, the probability of state change from 𝑤_𝑖,𝑘 to 𝑤_𝑗,𝑙 is expressed in a greyscale mapping.
