a Raster plots with representative recordings showing responses of the locust bLN1 MBON in two individuals to two odors. Odor was presented for 1 second (red bar) and the spikes in the responses were counted in a 2-s window following odor onset (green bar); scale bar for recordings, 10 mV. In this sample, the responses appear to be stereotypic, with more spikes for octanol 0.1% and fewer spikes for cyclohexanone 0.1% in both the individuals. b Violin plot showing the value of correlation stereotypy in bLN1 responses in the locust dataset. Each point represents the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, calculated using the 6-length vector (responses to 6 odors) for a pair of individuals (n = 15 pairs of individuals). c Schematic description of the PRED metric for stereotypy and comparison with the correlation metric. d PRED stereotypy in bLN1 responses in the locust dataset used in (b). Note the bias towards positive values. Each point represents the pairwise PRED stereotypy value, calculated for a pair of odor responses in a pair of individuals, giving a total of 225 values (15 pairs of odors × 15 pairs of individuals). In b, d black horizontal line represents the mean. Error bars represent s.e.m.
