Summary of the result across the population. a, The degree to which cells are selective for the direction of pattern motion or of the individual components as determined with monocular stimuli. The Z-transformed partial correlations between the data and the “component” and “pattern” predictions are plotted against one another. The space is divided into regions in which cells are classified as pattern selective (red region and symbols) or component selective (blue region and symbols). Cells falling outside of these regions remain unclassified by this method (black symbols). b, Pattern selectivity measured with dichoptic plaids, for the cells shown in a. Each datum retains its color according to its classification in a. c, The distribution of pattern indices measured with monocular and dichoptic plaids. Cells plotting at lower left (shaded blue) or upper right (shaded red) are classified as component selective or pattern selective, respectively, for both types of stimuli. Cells in the green and gray regions were pattern selective monocularly, but become component selective or unclassified, respectively, with dichoptic stimuli. Each datum retains its color according to its classification in a.
