Record completeness
Claims
the subpopulation shot noise spectrum is not a simple scaled version of the full population's noise; instead it arises from a non-trivial mixture of two distinct spectral components, and an analytical expression for its power spectral density is derived that shows excellent agreement with simulations.
The generalization of the nesting method and the previously developed reduction technique for non-Lorentzian distributions of local neuron parameters are valid and sufficient to capture the subpopulation dynamics and noise spectrum.
Derives analytical PSD for subpopulation shot noise showing non-trivial dependence on subpopulation size as a mixture of two spectral components, with good match to simulations.
