Population data of cortical adaptation to ACMC. a Task performance in the initial and last phases of two consecutive ACMC sessions with different input electrodes in Monkey TE and M (Distant electrode [red], n = 16 sessions; Neighbouring electrode [black], n = 9 sessions). Task performance in Last 1 and Last 2 was significantly higher than in Initial 1 and Initial 2, while task performance after a shift to a neighbouring electrode was significantly higher than after a shift to a distant electrode (P < 10−5 by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction for post hoc multiple comparisons). b The relationship between the change in MD (Initial 2 – Last 1) and distance from the input electrode. MD was significantly reduced when the input electrode was shifted to distant sites and unchanged when it was shifted to neighbouring sites. MD changes were not affected by distance from the input electrode. Two-way ANOVA; [Area] F(1) = 98.68, P = 5.63 × 10−22. [Distance] F(13) = 0.45, P = 0.95, not significant. Post hoc multiple comparisons with Bonferroni’s correction; PDistant vs Neighbouring = 5.63 × 10−22. c The relationship between the difference of MD (Initial 2 – Initial 1) and distance from the input electrode. Difference of MD (Initial 2 – Initial 1) were significantly higher when the input electrode was moved to neighbouring sites compared to when it was moved to distant sites. Two-way ANOVA; [Area] F(1) = 34.65, P = 5.87 × 10−9. Post hoc multiple comparisons with Bonferroni’s correction; PDistant vs Neighbouring = 5.87 × 10−9. d The relationship between difference of MD (Last 2 – Initial 2) and distance from the input electrode. A significant correlation between distance from the input electrode and difference of MD was found only for the distant electrodes, shown by the red dotted line (Pearson correlation coefficient, R = −0.129, P = 3.49 × 10−3). Data represent means and standard errors. Data for b–d were obtained from Monkey M and TE (Distant (red): n = 511 electrodes from 16 sessions; Neighbouring (black): n = 296 electrodes from nine sessions). Detailed statistical results for a–d are shown in the source data
