Decoding accuracy as a function of population-vector and neuropil-patch size. (A) Decoding accuracy as a function of population-vector size. Decoding accuracy of both cell and neuropil-patch populations increase in a similar way as a function of population-vector size. Decoding accuracies of the neuropil population are slightly lower for n > 6, but this does not reach significance on the F-test. (B) Decoding accuracy as a function of neuropil patch size increases by enlarging the outer annulus radius, while keeping the inner radius constant at 7 μm. Note that decoding accuracy remains high well beyond neuropil patches with radius ~100 μm. Blue: 100%, green: 40%, red: 15%. Error bars represent SEM across FOV's. AN, Anesthetized state; AW, Awake state. Dashed lines represent the chance level of accuracy.
