Reply to: Model mimicry limits conclusions about neural tuning and can mistakenly imply unlikely priors
Abstract
In Harrison, Bays, and Rideaux (2023), we presented evidence from electroencephalographical recordings of humans that there is an over representation of horizontal orientations in the visual cortex. Wolf and Rademaker (2024) raise concerns about an analysis used in our study and provide an alternative explanation for our results. Here we address their concerns and provide additional magnetencephalography data supporting the conclusions of our original study.
