Figure 6. Slopes.

Figure 6

Symbols denote oriented spectral slopes Inline graphic from the four amplitude spectra (circles = raw, squares = corrected raw, diamonds = Blackman-Harris (B.H.), and triangles = corrected B.H. – see methods section and Figure 1). The solid curve centered in the light-colored area denotes maximum entropy slopes Inline graphic of feature map amplitudes (label “mean (FM)”). The light-colored area indicates ±1 standard deviation. Open symbols indicate where spectral slopes and maximum entropy slopes are significantly different from each other (one-way ANOVA at each orientation, Inline graphic). Filled symbols denote the opposite case (Inline graphic). A further ANOVA test served to compare whether orientation-averaged slope values were drawn from the same underlying distribution. The respective probabilities are Inline graphic (raw spectrum versus maximum entropy slopes), Inline graphic (corrected raw), Inline graphic (B.H.), and Inline graphic (corrected B.H.). Notice that slope values in the angular domain from 180° to 360° are equivalent to those being shown.
