Figure 5.

A–D, Neuron- (A) and voxel-encoding (B) models reproduce the effects of RCs reported in the previous neurophysiological literature (C) and our fMRI data (D). $c_{neuron}$ and $c_{vxs}$ are the RC coefficients controlling the RC strength in the neuron- and the voxel-encoding model, respectively. The shaded areas of the pink curve in C and those of the two curves in D represent the 95% confidence interval for 100 simulations. Note that the green curve in C (i.e., the neuron-encoding model with tuning-compatible RCs) has no variability because neuronal tuning curves and variance are fixed in this condition (see above, Neuron-encoding model).
