Processing pipelines comparison. Evaluation of the signal quality after different processing pipelines for SLS with different surrounds in anesthetized (n = 101, 33, 28 for surround 0,1, ≥2) and awake animals (n = 16, 12 for surround 0, ≥1). Blue boxplots show the SNR distributions for each pipeline, red boxplots show the pairwise correlations distributions for each pipeline. The continuous blue and the orange lines show, respectively, the SNR and pairwise correlation median value for the processing pipeline composed by background subtraction followed by SNR-based artefacts correction (red box). The dashed light blue and light orange lines correspond to no changes in SNR and pairwise correlations, respectively, with respect to raw data. Extended values in Additional file 1: Table S1
