Count and pattern information for the full set of recorded neurons. A, Scatter plot of the whole-whisk spike count information versus peak spike pattern information about the full stimulus set for 10 ganglion single units (left) and 10 cortical clusters (right). The neurons analyzed in the preceding sections are indicated by arrows. Although they carried more information than average (red points), their ratio of pattern to count information was comparable with the rest of the dataset. B, Effect of both external clock precision (ΔTexternal) and internal clock precision (ΔTinternal) on spike pattern information, averaged for the full set of ganglion (left) and cortical (right) neurons. From the surface plots, the interaction between the two clocks can be discerned.
