Fig. 4: Exploring chronological patterns of animal behavior.

a The plots show posterior probabilities and mice’s choices-correct (gray) and incorrect (yellow)-during the task, for four distinct states. Based on the calculated posterior probabilities, the black dashed vertical lines indicate the points where state changes occur. The background color distinguishes biased blocks: pink indicates right-biased blocks, while the blue shade represents left-biased blocks. b The histogram for the number of trials of the initial transition probability into corresponding states was generated for each block (e.g., the trial count for initial transition to states with a right bias for right-biased data blocks) c An evaluation of the fractional occupancy pertaining to the four discrete states. This was conducted over the entire span of trials encompassing both right-biased and left-biased blocks. The results are presented here separately for the two different data block types.
