Figure 9. Thalamocortical transfer for experiment 1.

Figure 9

Frequency content, i.e., Fourier amplitudes, of the thalamic input Inline graphic (upper left) and the layer-4 firing rate Inline graphic (upper right) for six stimulus conditions providing the strongest response in experiment 1 (Inline graphic; Inline graphic; Inline graphic; Inline graphic; Inline graphic; Inline graphic). (Note that Inline graphic.) The corresponding amplitude (lower left) and phase (lower right) of the experimental transfer ratio Inline graphic are shown as thin grey lines while the thick black lines represent the corresponding averages for these six stimuli. Examples of model predictions for amplitude (lower left) and phase (lower right) of the recurrent thalamocortical transfer-function model (Eq. 9) are shown for the fitted parameter values Inline graphic and Inline graphic for experiment 1 taken from Table 1; green lines correspond to choosing Inline graphic, and dashed green lines to Inline graphic. The red and blue lines in the lower panels correspond to the average of the amplitude (lower left) and phase (lower right) of the transfer ratios found for the six stimuli listed above when driving the fitted recurrent (red) and feedforward (blue) models in Eqs. (2) and (8), respectively, with the experimentally extracted thalamic input Inline graphic.
