Neurons Respond on Average - Does Every Trial Work

Archived study

Separates average optotagging responses from individual-pulse reliability in the same archived recordings. The analysis compares zero-spike trials, response timing, baseline windows, and light levels.

Interpretation and limits

Two recordings cannot establish population-wide reliability, direct activation, or artifact-free spiking. Zero-spike counts rely on continuous detection and the selected response window.

Package and provenance

The original .science export and matching poster are preserved byte-for-byte from the upstream case. The package contains the conversation, session metadata, and the resources inventoried in its internal manifest. This introduction summarizes the archived record; the research, external sources, and model evaluations were not rerun for this import.
