Abstract

We present a novel approach to measure receptive fields in large and heterogeneous populations of sensory neurons recorded with large-scale, high-density multielectrode arrays. Our approach leverages super-resolution principles to improve the yield of the spike-triggered average method. By simply designing a new stimulus (called shifted white noise), we provide experimentalists with a new and fast technique to simultaneously detect more receptive fields at higher resolution in populations of hundreds to thousands of neurons.
