Figure 6. Spatial Activity Cannot Account for Temporal Activity.

Figure 6

The letters (A) through (F) indicate individual neurons recorded from different recording sessions. For each neuron there are two panels. The left panel is a spatial firing rate map, while the right panel includes two temporal tuning curves. The blue curve is the observed (empirical) temporal tuning curve of a single neuron, calculated based on the actual firing of that neuron. The red curve is the model-predicted temporal tuning curve based on the spatial firing-rate map given in the left panel of each pair. Shaded region denotes 95% confidence bounds on firing rate calculated using a bootstrap method. A bin size of 1 pixel × 1 pixel with a standard deviation of 3 pixels was used for this analysis (see Experimental Procedures). See Figure S5B for a comparison of the results from this analysis to the results from the GLM. The difference score calculated for each neuron is indicated in the upper-right corner of the right panels and in Figure S5B. The colored circles next to each neuron correspond to the colored circles in Figure S5B.
