Summary of initial phase plots and the inputs revealed after suppression
| Revealed inputs | Original phase plot | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Linear peak/trough-type 5 (3 +2) | Intermediate-type 7 | Nonlinear/complex 30 | |
| Single peak-type | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Single trough-type | 2 | 4 | |
| Peak-type + peak-type | 3 | ||
| Peak-type + trough-type | 4 | ||
| Partial resolution (of peak-type) | 3 | 4 | |
| No resolution | 1 | 12 | |
The columns show the classification of the initial phase plots for 42 neurons examined using the suppression technique. The rows indicate the effect of the suppressor tone on the phase plot in revealing the underlying inputs that contribute to the phase plots observed. Single peak-type and single trough-type classifications indicate that the nature of only one input was revealed.
