M.J.W. performed experiments and analyzed the data with help from T.H.K. and N.D.N. T.H.K. designed the multi-access optical strategy and performed Ca2+ data processing. J.K. and S.G. performed simulations and data analysis. M.J.S. contributed imaging hardware, software, and expertise. L.L. supervised the project. All authors contributed to writing the manuscript.
