13. A sliding window of 25 ms was stepped every 25 ms. Significance was determined by constructing a null distribution through randomization tests (12). A neuron was said to first indicate the target location when significant at P = 0.05 for two bins in a row.
14. The cumulative distribution is the cumulative sum of the histogram of when each cell first carried significant information about the target location (Fig. 2, top row). The cumulative sum was then normalized for the number of significant cells expected at each point in time by chance. This procedure corrected for multiple comparisons and determined when an area carried information about the target location, allowing us to infer the order of selectivity. See (12) for details.
