Figure 4.
The time course of border ownership signal and attention modulation. Instantaneous firing rate differences are plotted as a function of time after stimulus onset. Top, presentation of single figure in fixation task. Middle, attention task with separated figures. Bottom, attention task with overlapping figures. Dashed line + blue shading, border ownership signal; solid line + red shading, attention modulation (both left scale). Solid black line, mean response (right scale). Average over all cells with significant influence of both border ownership and attention (p<0.05, ANOVA); shading, ±1 s.e.m.. Gaussian smoothing with σ = 5ms.
