Summary of the data

The dataset contains activity of 45 neurons in the area MT of awake macaques in response to naturalistic movies. The data were originally published in:

Shinji Nishimoto, Jack L. Gallant (2011). A three-dimensional spatiotemporal receptive field model explains responses of area MT neurons to naturalistic movies. The Journal of Neuroscience, 31(41):14551-64.

Format of the data

All data (stimulus and neuron-responses) are in MatLab files. The format is describe in the document linked to at the bottom of this page. Total space for the data is about 16 GB (compressed).
