( A) WaveMAP begins with UMAP which projects high-dimensional data into lower dimension while preserving local and global relationships (see Figure 2-figure supplement 1A for an intuitive diagram). Normalized average waveforms from single units ( i) are passed to UMAP ( McInnes et al., 2018) which begins with the construction of a high-dimensional graph (ii). ( E) The recording location in caudal PMd (top) normalized and aligned isolated single-unit waveforms (n = 625, 1.6 ms each, bottom) and schematic of the 16-channel Plexon U-probe (right) used during the behavioral experiment. Seventy-five sessions for monkey T (128,989 trials) and 66 sessions for monkey O (108,344 trials) went into the averages. The discrimination threshold is the color coherence at which the monkey made 81.6% correct choices. over sessions) estimated from a Weibull fit to the overall percent correct as a function of coherence. Also shown in the inset of ( C) are discrimination thresholds (mean ± S.D. Y-axes depict the percent responded red in ( C) and RT in ( D). X-axes in both ( C), ( D) depict the SC in %. For many data points in ( C), the error bars lie within the marker. Gray markers show measured data points along with 2 × S.E.M. RT plotted here includes both correct and incorrect trials for each session and then averaged across sessions. ( C) Average discrimination performance and ( D) Reaction time (RT) over sessions of the two monkeys as a function of the SC of the checkerboard cue.

At bottom is defined the parametrization of difficulty in the task in terms of color coherence and signed color coherence (SC). ( B) A timeline of the decision-making task (top). This gave us a readout of the hand’s position and allowed us to mimic a touch screen.

An infrared-reflecting (IR) bead was taped to the forefinger of the free hand and was used in tracking arm movements. ( A) An illustration of the behavioral setup in the discrimination task. The monkey was seated with one arm free and one arm gently restrained in a plastic tube via a cloth sling.
