Comparison between the results of the boundary–surface and the outline control test

Boundary/ surface testOutline control test
Dot size0.0320.064
Number of neurons6176
% significant effect of decorrelation6454
% selective in decorrelation condition4862
Median SI correlation0.840.82
Median SI decorrelation0.610.55
  • No significant differences were observed in the number of neurons showing a significant effect of decorrelation, in the number of neurons selective for the decorrelated 3-D shape pair, in the median SI for the correlated vertical, or in the median SI for the decorrelated 3-D shape pair.
