Figure 6
Non linear dynamics in post-low and post-high confidence trials. Phase-plane trajectories (in log-log plot, for ease of viewing) of the post low and high confidence trials. We assume that the previous decision was decision C. The axis represent the losing neural pool SL and and the winning neural pool SW at the previous trial. The blue color codes for post-high confidence trials, and the red one for post-low confidence. Panels (a) and (b): Repeated and alternated case for low orientation stimuli; Panels (c) and (d): Repeated and alternated case for high orientation stimuli. In order to compare the decision times, the dynamics starting at the onset of the next stimulus is followed during 200 ms, as if there were no decision threshold. The actual decision occurs at the crossing of the dashed gray line, indicating the threshold.
