Abstract
The effect of noise correlations on neural computations has been studied extensively. However, the degree to which correlations affect downstream areas remains unknown. Here, we take advantage of precise measurement of eye movement behavior to estimate the degree to which correlated variability between neurons in the frontal eye field (FEF) affects subsequent behavior. To achieve this, we developed a novel shuffling-based method and verified it using different models of the FEF.
