the reference is:
Georgopoulos, A.P., Schwartz, A.B. & Kettner, R.E. (1986). Neuronal
population coding of movment direction. Science, 233, 1416-1419.
it is about perception *and* movment. the finding was that the activity
of the neurons transformed into a vector predicted the direction of
movement of the animals arm. the vectors were congruent with the animals
'spatial planning of movement'.
