Supplementary Figure 19: Mouse trajectory presentation
From: Altered responses to social chemosignals in autism spectrum disorder
The following heat maps depict an accumulation of all mouse locations on the task screen within 1000 ms from trial onset. Each of the 12 sub-plots corresponds to mouse movement of a specific experimental group. Color code denotes the number of accumulated counts of a certain pixel coordinate being “visited” by the mouse cursor throughout all trials. One can observe fine single-trial trajectories traveling from the center to arrive at the expected location of the target. From top to bottom: trials of TD participants approaching the Smell of Fear manikin, trials of TD participants approaching the control manikin, trials of ASD participants approaching the Smell of Fear manikin, trials of ASD participants approaching the control manikin. Horizontal division into sub plots is based on the hint given by the manikin. From left to right: Hint to left target, hint to right target and a superposition of both hints directions created by adding of left target and a mirror image of right target to result in a “go towards target” disregarding screen orientation. Lastly, in the rightmost panel is the comparison of response to Smell of fear vs. control from both the TD group (top) and ASD group (bottom). Color code denotes the delta of accumulated trajectories per group such that “hot” colors denote a higher number of trajectories that went through the pixel coordinate while “cold” colors denote less “visits” of a certain pixel coordinate.
