Fig. 5.

The information dynamics of mTE and synergy within and between the areas AIP, F5, and M1. All displayed information dynamics are averaged across all neural connections within each area or between each area pair and all recording sessions of all three monkeys. Since both mTE and synergy are directed measures, the information dynamics between areas can be separated into the feedforward and feedback directions. (A) Strength of normalized multivariate transfer entropy over time and separately for both conditions (solid, precision condition; dashed, power condition) within areas (within circles) and between areas (different source and target areas; arrows indicate the feedforward and feedback direction). Shaded error bars represent SE across recording sessions of all three monkeys. We can see that the degree of information processing varies greatly between areas for different behavioral states. The arrangement of areas and interactions corresponds to Figs. 1 and 7. (B) The same as (A), but for normalized triadic synergy.
