They emphasized that little information was provided by these indexes and investigated a statistical method of testing whether a cell is orientation- or direction-tuned
I extend Mazurek et al.’s analysis and compare their proposed test to the fitting approach, which they only advocated for extracting tuning parameters
Summary
Vision Research Laboratory, School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China. Mazurek et al (2014) provided an important step forward in changing the old-fashioned manner of reporting orientation and/or direction selectivity of cells that involved the infamous OI–orientation index, DI, and related quantities such as orientation bias and direction bias
