Title: Dissecting the contribution to perceptual decisions of encoding and readout of neural information

Abstract: Perceptual decisions require that neural populations encode information about the sensory environment and that other downstream populations read it out to inform behavioral outputs. Here we present our computational work to provide methods that individuate and tease apart the contribution of these two neural operations to the formation of perceptual decisions. We exemplify these methods with the study of several datasets from sensory and parietal cortices and we discuss their implications for understanding the emergent computations of neural population codes.
