Supplementary Figure 10: Illustration of whisker stimuli and single-trial timing
From: Tactile frequency discrimination is enhanced by circumventing neocortical adaptation
a, To change whisker stimulus velocity, we adjusted the amplitude of the 120 Hz cosine prototype pulse (left). To change repetition frequency, the interval between two prototype pulses was varied (right). b, Illustration of the behavioral setup, showing the piezo bending actuators used for whisker stimulation and LEDs that were connected via glass fibers for optical stimulation. Animals received a water reward when licking on the water spout that corresponded to the target side. c, Temporal organization of a single trial during behavioral testing.
