Fig. 6. Comparison of the homing accuracy of the seven path-integration models, i.e. the error angle between the model vector and the observed homing direction, as illustrated in (A). Polar plots are for counter-clockwise disk rotation and show the mean error angle () plotted with respect to the observed homing direction (set to 0°). Values are ±95% confidence intervals; r is the mean vector length. (B–D) exocentric paths, (E–H) egocentric paths, (I,J) the smaller of the absolute error values between (I) black and blue and (J) red and gray paths. See text for details.
