A Mean classification performance for individual PC-like neurons (orange, n = 12), SA1-like neurons (green, n = 25), and RA-like neurons (blue, n = 12). PC-like and RA-like responses allow for better classification than do SA1-like responses, and all are better than rate-matched simulated Poisson responses (dashed lines). Shaded regions denote the standard error of the mean across neurons. B Cumulative distribution of the peak temporal resolution for individual neurons. C–F Population classification using rate (red), timing (blue), and both (purple) for SA1-like neurons (C), PC-like neurons (D), RA-like neurons (E), or the remaining 92 unclassified cells (F). Shaded regions denote the standard deviation across 200 iterations.
