Significance testing of population decoding on visually independent task.

(a–e) Proportions of sessions with decoding accuracy significantly greater than chance, for (a) stimulus, (b) choice, (c) outcome, (d) previous choice, and (e) previous outcome. (f) Comparison of decoding accuracy for V1 populations between visually dependent and visually independent choice tasks, during the 500 ms of the trial with the best performance on decoding of each task feature. Points (black = visually dependent task, blue = visually independent task) indicate accuracy on single trials. Comparisons by hierarchical statistical methods for all task features were not significant (hierarchical permutation test, see Methods, all p > 0.05).
