Selectivity indices. (A) Scatter plot of the illumination selectivity index (ISI) as a function of the shape selectivity index (SSI), with their respective distributions plotted on the top and right sides of the scatter plot. The median values of SSI and ISI distributions are 0.30 and 0.31 respectively. The black dots represent the neurons illustrated in Figures 4A (SSI = 0.81, ISI = 0.23) and 4B (SSI = 0.31, ISI = 0.83). (B) The ANOVA based ω2 index for illumination direction plotted as a function of the ω2 index for shape. The black dots represent the neurons illustrated in Figures 4A & B. Dashed lines represent the thresholds of 0.10 that we used to determinate that a cell is highly selective to shape or illumination direction.
