Table 1.
Axes used for linear discriminant analysis. Summary of trial conditions compared and used for linear discriminant analysis. For each axes, noted are potential differences in texture, licking, and whisking parameters between trial conditions as well as the utility in comparing such trial conditions for isolating sensory or behavior responses.
| Axes for LDA | Texture | Licking | Whisking | Utility in analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hit vs. CR | Different | Different (Hit) | Same | Cannot isolate sensory, decision, or action-related responses |
| FA vs. CR | Same | Different (FA) | Same | Isolate decision and action-related responses |
| Pre- vs. post-touch licking (FA trials) | Same | Different | Same | Isolate licking-related responses |
| High vs. Low Whisking (CR trials) | Same | None | Different | Isolate whisking-related responses |
| P280 vs. P1200 (CR trials) |
Different | None | Same | Isolate sensory-related responses |
| Target vs. Non-target (Non-task) | Different | None | None | Isolate sensory-related responses |
