Fig 8. Overall patterns of activity in cell populations.

A,B. Neural activation periods, sorted by their mean peak activation time, during the SCT task for the target intervals of 450 (A) and 850 (B) ms. Each horizontal line corresponds to the onset and duration of the significant activation period of a cell according to the Poisson-train analysis (see Materials and methods). The Poisson-train analysis was carried out on the discharge rate of cells that was warped in relation to the tapping times (seven white vertical lines [4,73]). Note that the number of cells with significant activation periods is larger for the longer target interval. Underlying data are available in https://doid.gin.g-node.org/d315b3db0cee15869b3d9ed164f88cfa/. SCT, synchronization-continuation task.
