Figure 10. Comparison to simulated spikes.

(A) Average reconstruction filters calculated from spikes simulated using linear-nonlinear models (left) or recorded (right). (B) Images reconstructed from simulated (left) or recorded (middle) spikes, compared to the original images (right). (C) Comparison of reconstructions with recorded and simulated spike counts: filters (top; ρ=0.84 +/- 0.09 across 2225 parasol cells from 15 recordings), reconstructed images (middle; ρ=0.93 +/- 0.04 across n = 2250 images from 15 recordings), and performance (bottom; simulated: ρ=0.79 +/- 0.11; recorded: ρ=0.78 +/- 0.11; Δρ=−0.003 +/- 0.03; across 2250 images from 15 recordings). Source files for C are available in Figure 10—source data 1.
