Many studies have shown that trial-to-trial variability is correlated across neurons. Yet, neuronal responses are often assumed independent – mostly to simplify the decoding process. When correlations are intentionally ignored while decoding, a cost is usually incurred. Many methods have been proposed to quantify the cost (if any) of assuming the neural code independent when in fact it is dependent or correlated. However, when these methods are applied, certain simplifications are often made, such as investigating pairs of neurons only or assuming the correlated response multivariate normal. However, by making these strong and poorly justified assumptions on the nature of correlations, the obtained cost of ignoring corr...
