Analysis No. of Neurons Excluded Included for Analysis
Onset latency with fixation data
data set #1, #3 (size 2x), #4, and #6 (filled)
91 + 80 + 83 + 43 = 297 4 + 2 + 9 + 6 = 21 276
Offset latency with fixation data
(same as above)
297 (as above) 4 + 4 + 10 + 7 = 25 272
Onset latency: fixation vs. behavior
data set #1 vs. #2; #4 vs. #5
91 + 83 = 174 9 + 13 = 22 152
Offset latency: fixation vs. behavior
data set #4 vs. #5
83 21 62

“Study/Data Set No.”: number of neurons grouped by experimental condition in each data set. Rightmost column: the median and minimum number of trials across all cells used in each experiment to construct PSTHs and calculate onset and offset latencies. “Analysis”: summary of included subsets contributing to onset and offset latency analyses performed here.
