Extended Data Fig. 8: Comparison of phase precession when recognizing target (old) versus foil (new) images.
From: Theta phase precession supports memory formation and retrieval of naturalistic experience in humans
An example MTL neuron showing phase precession when the participant is asked to recognize target images (a) and foil images (b). Note that no significant phase precession is observed when identifying foil images. (c) Comparison between phase precession strength (correlation coefficient values) when participants are instructed to recognize target (blue) versus foil images (gray) across all phase precession neurons identified during scene recognition (n = 51). Each dot represents one neuron. The asterisk and horizontal line denote the mean and median of the data, respectively. The shaded violin shape represents the data distribution with lower end of 1st percentile (minima) and top end of 99th percentile (maxima). The top edge and bottom edge of the shaded rectangle represent the mean ± std. and mean – std., respectively. The top edge and bottom edge of the shaded hourglass represents the 75th and 25th percentile, respectively. Significance was assessed using the permutation test in (a, b) and two-tailed ANOVA test in (c, **p = 0.004), respectively.
