Figure 6.

No systematic influence of preferred spatial wavelength on coupling strength. Dependence of coupling strength on distance. Pairs of recording sites were separated into three groups with short, medium and long preferred spatial wavelength (red, orange and green dots, see text for details). (A) If preferred spatial wavelength were to influence coupling strength, the groups would differ. However, no difference is observed. (B) Coupling strength is plotted with respect to distance normalized to mean preferred spatial wavelength. If linking field size were to scale linearly with preferred spatial wavelength, the groups would not differ. However, the three groups are clearly distinct. Results from the other animal and for different coupling measures are comparable. Taken together these results are clear evidence against a scaling of the linking field with preferred spatial wavelength.
