Task design and stimulus-evoked spiking/LFP activity. Panel A shows the behavioral paradigm. The monkeys had to foveate a central fixation point (shown as a cross). Shortly thereafter, an RDP cued the position of the upcoming target stimulus. The monkeys had to detect a subtle change in the color/motion direction of the target RDP (indicated by a dashed circle here) by releasing the lever. Panels B and C present data recorded from each of the monkeys and “n” represents the number of recording sites for each animal. Both spiking activities and LFPs are normalized to the maximum value of each recording site across trials. Standard errors reflect standard error of the mean (SEM). Note that we inversed all LFP values before normalization in order to present the activity relative to the intracellular space (see Materials & Methods for details).
