Cell-by-cell AM firing rate encoding differences between attention conditions for A1 (A; n = 92) and ML (B; n = 122). Filled dots indicate cells that significantly encode AM. Diagonal line is the unity line. As feature level increased, discriminability of AM from unmodulated sounds became greater (ROCa further away from 0.5). AM, amplitude modulation; A1, primary auditory cortex; BW, bandwidth; ML, middle lateral belt; ROCa, area under the receiver operating characteristic.
