Population vector

A population vector is a concept often used in neuroscience, particularly in the study of sensory systems, motor control, and neural coding. It refers to a representation of information within a population of neurons that collectively encode a specific parameter, such as direction of movement or sensory stimuli. Here's how it works: 1. **Population Activity**: Instead of relying on the activity of a single neuron, population vectors consider the collective activity of a group of neurons.
