Fig. 4: Emergence of response uncertainty variance in expert mice.

a Frequency-dependent response uncertainty in naive mice with no significant differences observed (ANOVA; F statistic 1.523, P = 0.142). b Type-dependent response uncertainty in naive mice, also lacking statistical significance (ANOVA: F statistic 1.317, P = 0.270). c A concept illustration of uncertainty in naive mice. There were no differences in uncertainty based on vibration stimulus and response type. d The variation in response uncertainty in expert mice by vibration frequency, with increased uncertainty at toss-up frequencies and lower uncertainty at 200 and 600 Hz (ANOVA: F statistic 9.832, P = 3.03 × 10−11). e Reduced response uncertainty in expert mice during correct trials (hit, CR) (ANOVA: F statistic 17.9, P = 3.50 × 10−18). f A concept illustration of uncertainty in expert mice. There were differences in uncertainty according to vibration stimulus and response type. The error bars represent the s.e.m.
