(A) Discrimination performance when the decoder's estimate for the trajectory statistics is wrong: The stimulus is known to perform a random walk on the retina, but the diffusion constant is misestimated. The performance is optimal for estimated values close to the actual diffusion constant and declines gently on either side.

(B) Performance as a function of the expected stimulated firing rate, parameterized as .

(C) Performance as a function of the expected stimulus size, obtained by convolving the true stimulus shape with a spatial Gaussian of the specified radius. In each of these plots, parameters are the same as in Figure 5.
