Controls for changes in firing rate. (A) Raw (black, V4 N = 100, vPul N = 118, dPul N = 136, LGN N = 105) and distribution-matched mean firing rates (blue, V4 N = 43, vPul N = 60, dPul N = 79, LGN N = 60) around the time of stimulus onset. Error bars show +/− 1 SEM. (B) Distribution-matched Fano factor computed from the data points representing the matched rate (V4 N = 43, vPul N = 60, dPul N = 79, LGN N = 60). Error bars indicate +/− 1 SEM. (C) Mean distribution-matched Fano factor for the 300 ms pre (blue) and 300 ms post stimulus interval (orange). Error bars indicate +/− 1 SEM. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, Bonferroni corrected, ****p < 0.0001. (D) Fano factor calculated based on non-responsive sites (Wilcoxon ranked-sum tests, p > 0.05; V4 N = 47, vPul N = 79, dPul N = 95, LGN N = 79) for 300 ms pre (blue) and 300 ms post RDM stimulus (orange). Error bars indicate +/− 1 SEM. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, Bonferroni corrected, **p < 0.01.
