Fig. 6 |. Performance binned by target location in high-uncertainty condition.

a–d, Outmost locations. a, Group-averaged psychometric functions (d′ versus contrast). d_max and C₅₀ of the group-averaged psychometric functions are plotted at the right and the bottom of the figure. The error bars represent 95% bootstrapped confidence interval. b, The bootstrapped distribution of the difference of d_max (top) and the difference of C₅₀ (bottom) between the towards and away conditions. Distributions significantly different from zero are denoted with asterisks. c, Grey dots, best-fitted d_max of individual observers; grey ellipse, the ellipse with major axes oriented towards the difference and the sum of the d_max across two conditions. The difference (or sum) of d_max is first computed for individual observers, and the major axis of the ellipse represents ±1 s.d. of the difference (or sum). The black dot shows the group-averaged d_max and the error bar represents the standard deviation of the bootstrapped distribution of the difference between towards and away conditions. d, C₅₀ illustrated in the same format as in c. e–h, Intermediate locations, corresponding to a–d. i–l, Central location, corresponding to a–d and e–h.
