Recent concepts of cortical information processing suggest that visual stimuli are represented by ensembles of synchronously firing neurones. This hypothesis predicts that individual cells in separate columns of the visual cortex should synchronize their discharges in response to a single coherent stimulus and fire asynchronously when each neurone responds to a different stimulus. To test this prediction, we recorded simultaneously with two stereotrodes from single units with non-overlapping, colinearly arranged receptive fields in area 17 of the anaesthetized cat. In support of the hypothesis, cell pairs activated by the same long bar stimulus discharged in synchrony, and fired with no or diminished temporal correlation when each neurone was activated by an independent light bar.
