Fig. 6. Quantification of the negative image response as a function of baseline input rate r_e. (A,B) Phase histograms were quantified in terms of the preferred phase (A) and the vector strength (B). Each panel shows the results for both model (F_o=0.05 in black, F_o=0.2 in gray) and experiment (F_o=0.05, open symbols; mean ± s.d., N=5 neurons). As indicated, a positive preferred phase represents an in-phase response and a negative preferred phase represents an out-of-phase response (i.e. negative image). (C) Similar to Fig. 4E, the firing rate response of the LIF model is shown for F_o=0.05 (black) and F_o=0.2 (gray). Also indicated are the regions of r_e in which the preferred phases are positive and negative (plus-image and minus-image respectively). Note that this corresponds to the sign of the slope of the non-monotonic response curve. Also note that for intermediate values of r_e the responses depend on F_o and are characterized by preferred phases of either sign and relatively low vector strength.
