Repetition effects show stimulus specificity and persistence in firing-rate responses
All panels show data averaged over sites, sessions, stimuli, and animals, and all panels except (B) are averaged across the entire stimulation period.
(A) dMUA ratio (stimulation/baseline) as a function of overall trial number. Insets show repetition-related dMUA changes across all repetitions (bars show permutation-based two-sided significance thresholds for p < 0.01).
(B) dMUA ratio (black) and repetition-related changes (green line and horizontal significance bars for test against zero).
(C) Test for stimulus specificity based on repetition-related changes and initial responses (intercepts) in the block (see STAR Methods).
(D) Test for persistence, using a between-session comparison. The same format as (C), right panel but for blocks AB[A], BB[A].
(E) Test for persistence, using a within-session comparison. The same format as (D) but for blocks AB[A], [A]BA.
All error regions correspond to ±2 SEM across sessions based on a bootstrap procedure and are shown for illustration, whereas statistical inferences were based on non-parametric permutation tests (p < 0.01, p < 0.05 with multiple comparison correction for B).
