+- `\data\` contains the raw data of individual cells, organized into plain-text tables of spike-times, together with some meta information. This is the data used in the article. Access to all data sets (ca. 200 records) can be obtained from Barry B. Lee. These include 6x1 min and 10 min records for almost all cells, und for many cells multiple repeats of the 10 min video.
 
 - `\stimuli\` contains the visual stimuli, and details for calibration, such as gamma correction and gun spectra. It also contains two downsampled examples movies, `timeflowershow` and `spaceflowershow` to illustrate the downsampled, and full stimulus video.

 * 6 x 1min files: Format is similar. The first 1 min of the 10 min video is repeated 6 times. There is a variable delay (blank frames) before the beginning of the first video repeat and there are ca. 5 sec of blank frames after termination before the next repeat starts. After completion of the 6 repeats there is a further period of maintained activity (column 7).

 4. Gun spectra. The spectra measured for the 3 display guns are tabulated in `GunSpectra.txt`. Based on the gun spectra and luminance estimates, the gun values were calibrated to deliver the same luminance. However, based on reverse correlation analysis on M cells, it was estimated that, relative to the red gun, the green gun luminance was overestimated by ca. 5% and the blue gun underestimated by ca. 20%. We therefore converged on the following equation to convert gamma-corrected intensities into l/m/s cone signals:

 1. The averaged 6 x 1 min responses were best for modeling, while the 10 min runs gave better results for the reverse correlation.
