Previous studies have demonstrated that visual attention (which aids in the behavioral performance of a task) leads to increases in firing rates while also causing a decrease in correlation of trial-to-trial fluctuations of pairs of neurons. Seeking to better understand these changes in correlation structure, we performed topological analysis on simultaneous recordings of V4 neurons in rhesus monkeys. We found that although there was no underlying geometric structure within the task, topological features were able to be related to the behavioral performance of the animal. Analysis of spiking network models are then considered in order to aid in determining the possible mechanism(s) related to these topological fea
