Figure 5. Linear filters and balance index for four example cells in different stimulus conditions.

Each panel shows the linear filter in four skewed conditions (magenta), three kurtotic conditions (yellow), and the gaussian condition of matched variance (cyan). stimuli are denoted by circles, stimuli by triangles, stimuli by squares, and stimuli by stars. The balance index for 3 selected filters (two extreme skewed distributions and the zero skew condition, G) is reported in each panel.
