Characterizing the Input-Output Function of the Olfactory-Limbic Pathway in the Guinea Pig

Figure 7

Results of prediction of the latency between LOT stimulus and neural response. (a, b) Observed and predicted latency values of the neural activity elicited by LOT stimuli. Blue circles correspond to observed latencies. Predictions provided by KRLS algorithm trained on previous empirical evidence are reported: cyan for linear kernel and green for Gaussian (RBF) kernel. (a) Latency after 1st pulse. (b) Latency after 2nd pulse. (c, d) Distributions of the normalized mean squared error (Nmse; see text for a definition) reported in box plot format. and denote, respectively, and significance levels (Wilcoxon rank sum test). (c) nMSE distributions of the predicted latency after 1st pulse (left) and 2nd pulse (right) in the experiments of IPI variation. (d) nMSE distributions of the predicted latency after 1st pulse (left) and 2nd pulse (right) in the experiments of stimulus intensity (stim. int.) variation.
