Extended Data Fig. 9

Same format as Fig. 3 in the main text. In the main text analyses, we re-fit the linear parameters β0 and β1 in the test data during cross-validation. As explained in the Methods, this is to isolate our analysis to the asymmetries in scaling, rather than the analysis being impacted by, for example, overall (non-asymmetric) gain. Here we show the same result as in Fig. 3c in the same 94 neurons, but when carrying over the linear parameters (β0 and β1) as well as the asymmetric parameters (S, α+ and α−) to predict firing rate, and therefore do not re-estimate the linear parameters in the test data. We find that the pattern of results remains the same. Error bars denote SEM. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001.
