 One approach that converges on a determinate content considers the activity of a neural population. To evaluate more information, the brain might integrate MT response by giving each MT neuron, \(M_n\), one vote weighted according to the strength of its response. Thus, the tuning curve represents how strongly the neuron votes for its preferred value (the value at the peak). The votes are tallied by a downstream system, and the result can be represented as a population vector whose direction is understood to be the direction represented by the neural population. This specific approach was taken by Georgopoulos and colleagues to decode the direction of bodily movement from the activity of a population of motor neurons (Georgopoulos et al. 1982; for discussion of different coding approaches, see Pouget, Dayan, &amp; Zemel 2003).
