Average population PETH differs depending on whether a switch is successfully made. Single neuron activity was averaged across all trials where the distractor was presented. Each such trial was categorized as either a successful switch (solid line), where the true target was reached, or unsuccessful (dashed line) when the monkey failed to reach the target and the trial was categorized as distracted (see Methods). Single neuron PETHs aligned on the true target onset, for both behavioral categories were then normalized to z-score and averaged across the population of monkey M M1 (A), monkey M S1 (B), and monkey N M1 (C).
