Consequences of systematic parameter variation of the membrane model of the pooling neuron. a, Contour plot of the rms difference between model and neuronal responses depending on g₀, E_i/E_e. The average d_rms of six stimuli is coded in gray levels. b,The rms difference between model and neuronal responses as a function of g₀ only, E_i/E_e = -0.95. c, Steady-state response of the elaborated model (variant 7 in Fig. 4c) as a function of pattern size hinting at the gain control properties of the model neuron (see Results; sinusoidally modulated pattern; 10, 15, and 20 Hz temporal frequency; constant velocity motion; g₀ = 1295).
