Population decoding timecourses are influenced by multiple trial parameters.

(a) Mean population activity trajectories (bolded color lines) diverge by trial difficulty. Single trial trajectories are shown in gray. (b) “Stimulus” decoding persists in choice epoch due to strong stimulus-choice correlation in trained animals. (c) Outcome epoch decoding is similar between decoding reward vs. punishment and reward vs. missed reward. The underlying data for this figure are available for download from 10.17632/5ms7gcb67j.1.
