Figure 4. Influence of the spike distribution within the pattern.

Figure 4

Comparison between a spike pattern of model SB (SB panels) and a rate-modulated pattern of Model RB (RB panels), both having a bimodal distribution of latencies. (SB1) Model SB. The plot displays Inline graphic afferents that fire with a mean latency Inline graphic ms with a spread Inline graphic ms around this latency, and Inline graphic afferents that fire with a mean latency Inline graphic ms and same spread Inline graphic ms. (SB2) The average cross-correlogram over the respective groups (circles) corresponds to Equation (16). (RB1) Model RB. The plot displays two afferents of each group. In each group all the afferents have the same pattern rate function: Gaussians centered respectively on Inline graphic ms and Inline graphic ms with width Inline graphic ms and amplitudes Inline graphic. (RB2) The cross-correlogram between two afferents in distinct groups exhibits a peak at Inline graphic ms. Plots SB3–8 and RB3–8 are similar to those in Fig. 3. (SB3,SB6 and RB3,RB6) Inline graphic and Inline graphic: the earliest cluster is selected. (SB4,SB7 and RB4,RB7) Inline graphic and Inline graphic: the latest cluster is selected. (SB5,SB8 and RB5,RB8) Inline graphic and Inline graphic: the latest cluster is selected.
