From: Cortical ensemble activity discriminates auditory attentional states
Attending and ignoring modulate population activity in the auditory cortex in the same direction. a Comparisons of decoder performance between the three attentional states after stimuli onset. Stimulus-responsive population (left); stimulus-nonresponsive population (middle); entire population (right). Statistical analyses were performed in a one-way repeated measures analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s test. n.s., not significant. **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001. b Hypothetical models of the directions of attentional modulation using example of two neurons. Black dots: passive states; blue dots: ignored states; red dots: attended states. c Distribution of the angle between the normal vectors of the separate hyperplanes. Stimulus-responsive population (left); stimulus-nonresponsive population (middle); entire population (right). Yellow bars are from experimental data, and grey bars are from shuffled data. d The proportion of ignored trials that classified as attended or passive states by the attended/passive decoder, using Stimulus-responsive population (left); stimulus-nonresponsive population (middle); entire population (right). Statistical analyses were performed in two sample t-test. *, p < 0.05, ***, p < 0.001
