Correction for Carlson et al., Ambiguous Encoding of Stimuli by Primary Sensory Afferents Causes a Lack of Independence in the Perception of Multiple Stimulus Attributes

In the article “Ambiguous Encoding of Stimuli by Primary Sensory Afferents Causes a Lack of Independence in the Perception of Multiple Stimulus Attributes,” by Bruce A. Carlson and Masashi Kawasaki, which appeared on pages 9173–9183 of the September 6, 2006 issue, the Figure 5 that printed was not the final version of the figure. The corrected Figure 5 is printed here.

Figure 5.

Contour plots of mean PM (A) and AM (B) coding fractions as a function of action potential threshold (V_th) and neuronal noise (σ_n) obtained from 10 model simulations. The bars to the right show the scaling of the contour plots. The values of V_th are in relation to the resting membrane potential, which is arbitrarily set at 0. The left column shows the coding fractions obtained from simultaneous presentation of random AM and random PM, and the right column shows the coding fractions obtained from separate presentation of random AM and random PM.
