Decades of electrophysiological studies have shown that small fluctuations in the neural representation of a visual stimulus are correla ted with performance in visually-guideded tasks. The causal link between t hese fluctuations and behavior\, however\, has been difficult to pin down. Using multiple visual stimuli\, electrophysiological recordings and simpl e computational models\, we demonstrate how fast neural fluctuations and t heir correlations can be linked to behavior using simple causal models. Th ese models shed light on the way downstream brain areas convert sensory in formation into perceptual decisions.\n DTSTART:20190924T160000Z DTEND:20190924T170000Z LOCATION:Room 1034\, McIntyre Medical Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1 Y6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler SUMMARY:QLS Seminar Series - Erik Cook URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-series-erik-cook-3 00777 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
