Detailed list of what the maximum decoding accuracy was and at which ensemble size it was achieved, measured separately for the BE and BSU methods. Because the estimates are noisy and the decoding performance saturates, the ensemble sizes at which 90% of the maximum performance were achieved are also listed. The data are divided up into the individual sessions recorded from each animal. Decoding performances between ensemble types as well as ensemble sizes were compared across the nine sessions using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (p < 0.05).
