+ Paradigm:
|
|
|
+ For each session, data were collected while animals performed visual tasks that rewarded passive fixation while drifting sine-wave gratings of varying contrast were presented to one or both eyes. The gratings had a spatial frequency of 1 cyc/deg and drifted at a temporal frequency of 4 Hz while the animal fixated within a 1-2 deg radius around the fixation cue (0.5 deg) at the center of the screen. Within each recording epoch, gratings maintained a constant orientation with orientation tilts in the range of -45°, 0°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 135°, 180°, and grating size varied from 2° to 8° . The interstimulus interval varied between a median duration of 1.3 s and 2.1 s across sessions, with an overall median duration of 1.7 s. The stimulus appeared from 250 to 500 ms after the fixation cross appeared on the screen. If the monkey fixated on the cross throughout the whole duration of a trial, it received a juice reward.
