Firing rates for BOS neurons as functions of the mean rates of G-cells.
A: Averaged firing rates of and
neurons for combinations of
- and Gsp-cells rates. B: Averaged firing rates of
and
neurons for combinations of
- and Gsp-cells rates. Firing rates of BOS neurons pointed out by white dashed lines with ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’ and ‘F’ are summarized in panels C, D, E and F as a functions of the mean rates of G-cells, respectively. In C-F, each data point is the average of 100 simulated trials, each 200 biological seconds long as a function of the mean rate of G-cells. C, D: Firing rates of BOS neuron as function of the mean rates of Gsp for two mean rates of
, 30Hz (filled triangles) and 60Hz (open triangles). C: Average of
and
. Black and red triangles indicate the chosen Gsp rates for ignored and attended conditions, respectively. D: Average of
and
neurons. Note that symbols for 30Hz and 60Hz nearly overlap because there is no direct projection from object-based G-cells to members of the inconsistent BOS cell pairs. E, F: Firing rates of BOS neurons as functions of the mean rates of
for two different mean rates of Gsp, 3Hz (filled triangles) and 15Hz (open triangles). E: Average of
and
. Black and red triangles indicate the chosen rates of
-cells for bound-ignored and bound-attended conditions, respectively. F: Average of
and
