Gain of vectorial over scalar mutual information, where each is maximized over start times, $t_{\text{s}}$. For vectorial information, the memory capacity is $n=2$ and the sampling rate is $r=1/10$ Hz. Fibroblast data are compared against the over- and underdamped oscillator model. In the oscillator model, parameters are as in Fig. 4, and the intrinsic noise is governed by $k_{\text{B}}T$, which varies from 0.2 to 1 pN μm, whereas extrinsic noise is governed by $\delta k\text{/}\langle k\rangle$, which varies from 0 to 0.4. Error bars represent the mean ± SD of 100 bootstraps (fibroblast data) for 20 independent trials of 5000 trajectories each (oscillator model). To see this figure in color, go online.
