Population coding allows for precise motor output despite the broad tuning curves of individual neurons in the population. This is because the population as a whole can convey more precise information than any individual neuron alone, and the brain can integrate this information to produce precise motor output.

Question 20

Multiple Choice

Population coding

A) Allows precise motor output despite broad tuning curves of individual neurons in the population
B) Allows only sloppy motor output, just like the broad tuning curves of individual neurons in the population
C) Represents the brain's responsiveness to the activity of only those neurons whose activation levels are in the top 20%
D) Represents the brain's responsiveness to the activity of only those neurons whose activation levels are in the top 50%
