Mediating role of dynamical parameters. (A) In a scenario where tuning curves are offset by a fixed orientation, increasing the time constant \(\tau _{x}\) leads to an increase in correlation associated with maximal error (\(\rho _{*}\)). (B) Different values of \(\tau _{x}\) (colors corresponding to panel “A”) alter the relation between noise correlation and readout error. Inset: examples of firing rate distributions across two stimuli (shown in blue and red). (C) Increasing the leak term \(\alpha _{x}\) leads to a decrease in \(\rho _{*}\). (D) Readout error across different values of \(\alpha _{x}\) (see panel “C” for colors). Inset: examples of firing rate distributions
