Criticality enhances the multilevel reliability of stimulus responses in cortical neural networks
Fig 5
Further measurement of critical avalanches using different sizes of time bins.
We further measure avalanches in networks in Fig 4 using different time bins Δt. The distributions of avalanche size S, avalanche duration T, and the average size 〈S〉 under duration T are shown. (A) Measurement of avalanches in networks with sizes N = 2500, 5000, 10,000, 15,000 using fixed bin Δt = 0.02ms. (B) Measurement of avalanches in a network with size N = 15,000 using different time bins Δt = 0.4Tm, 0.8Tm and 1.2Tm, where Tm = 0.013 ms. The horizontal lines on top indicate the ranges of estimated power-law distributions of the corresponding cases.
