(color online) a Wave propagation probability ${\widehat{P}}_{\mathrm{s}}({\lambda }_{\mathrm{E}},g_{\mathrm{E}},L_0)$ estimated from simulations (red) and from the model given by Eq. (3) (blue) for g _E/G _μ ∈ {0.5,0.54,…,1.4}. b g _E-dependence of λ _E,th, the threshold for 50 % wave propagation probability from sigmoidal fits to ${\widehat{P}}_{\mathrm{s}}({\lambda }_{\mathrm{E}},g_{\mathrm{E}},L_0)$, for individual g _E values (red) and fitted to a quadratic (blue). c The relationship between the sigmoid widths λ _{E, σ} and the thresholds λ _E,th is approximated by a linear relationship λ _E,σ = c λ _E,th. d The h- λ _E relationships based on the expected contribution to the population mean firing rate made by each each wave, ν _W,1(λ _E, G _σ) (red lines); and setting ν _W,1 to a constant value of ν _W,1(λ _E,th(G _μ),0.0015) (blue line)
