      abstract = {Our senses are continuously bombarded by an avalanche of  stimuli. The sensory epithelia, and the downstream regions  of the brain a few synapses away from them, have the task  of finding and representing the parts of this sensorium  which are relevant for behavior and survival.  This is a  difficult task as the raw input of sensory systems, i.e.,  the activity of the sensory neurons (rod and cones in  vision, hair cells in hearing) is very high dimensional  where each sensory neuron corresponds to one dimension.  Furthermore, the activity of neighboring sensory neurons is  highly correlated and therefore carries redundant  information, and there are temporal correlations as sensory  experience tends to change smoothly over time. The sensory  brain maps this high dimensional highly correlated raw  sensory input to a lower-dimensional, less redundant  representation (Chechik et al., 2006) by projecting the  information onto the activity of fewer and less correlated  neurons.},
