1. The Fisher information predicts the experimentally measured sensitivity.
The Fisher information predicts the experimentally measured sensitivity. A, Sensitivity coefficients c for the two reference stimuli and 16 perturbation shapes, measured empirically and predicted by the Fisher information (Eq. 14) and the local model. The purple point corresponds to the perturbation shown in Figure 2. Dashed line stands for best linear fit. B, Same as A, but for responses simulated with the local model, with the same amount of data as in experiments. The discriminability of perturbations was measured in the same way than for recorded responses. Dots and error bars stand for mean and SEM over 10 simulations. Dashed line stands for identity.
