Note. Percentages of neurons/simulations with a significant correlation were calculated with α = .05. Observed data combine across animals. Predicted data are averaged across data sets. See Figures 11, 12, and 13 for plots of individual data sets. Data from Monkey Q are included in the hard condition. A subset of the neural data was previously published (Woodman, Kang, Thompson, & Schall, 2008).
