Movie
A movie showing natural stimuli and the corresponding neural responses.
We use dynamic natural scene movies (courtesy of the Peter Konig lab) that were captured by attaching a small video camera to a cat's head and allowing it to roam freely in the woods. In the movie shown here (4.9GB download), spikes from different neurons are each assigned a different audible pitch. Neurons are also separated in stereo space. A pulse of a given pitch represents a spike from a specific neuron at that time. In this way, you can listen to the entire population of neurons responding to the movie stimulus in real time (movie generated by Martin Spacek).
