(a) Representative 2D Gain maps as a function of calculated at BCLprior for example shown in Figure 2(b). (b) Single-pixel trends in Gain as a function of for the three representative pixels marked in panel (a). Note that # suggests the presence of smooth bifurcation, and suggests the presence of border-collision bifurcation. However, the type of bifurcation in pixel cannot be identified. (c) 2D bifurcation map showing the spatial distribution of different bifurcations for panel (a).
