 ### Version 1 (area_ID_imaging_spk.mat)
 
-This data version contains one .mat file for each session (AC/PPC, active/passive) for a total of 27 sessions (7 PPC active, 6 PPC passive, 7 AC active, 7 AC passive). Each .mat file contains neural variables, behavioral variables and information about the stimuli.
+This data version contains one .mat file for each session (AC/PPC, active/passive) for a total of 27 sessions (7 PPC active, 6 PPC passive, 7 AC active, 7 AC passive). Each .mat file contains neural variables, behavioral variables and stimulus identity.
 * Neural variables consist of deconvolved dF/F traces at the two-photon microscope sampling rate;
 * Behavioral variables consist of x-y position in the virtual T-maze, x-y running velocity and view angle in the VR system sampling rate;
 * Each trial has a different duration. Information about each trial timing and the match between imaging and VR acquisition is stored in the frame_timing_info field;
-* Information about the stimuli is stored in the sound_location field (value = 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, 4, 6, 2 for stimuli from the extreme left to the extreme right).
+* The stimulus identity is stored in the sound_location field (value = 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, 4, 6, 2 for stimuli from the extreme left to the extreme right).

 ### Version 3 (aligned_data_simple.mat)
 
-This version consists of a single .mat file containing a matlab struct with dimension equal to the number of active sessions (7 PPC active, 7 AC active). Each row of the structure refers to a single session and contains neural variables, behavioral variables and information about the stimuli relative to that session.
-* Neural variables consist of deconvolved dF/F traces at the two-photon microscope sampling rate. All trials have the same duration and are both aligned to the time of stimulus onset (r_aligned_stimulus) and to the time of choice (r_aligned_choice);
-* Behavioral variables consist of x-y position in the virtual T-maze and are resampled according to match the imaging rate. All trials have the same duration and are both aligned to the first stimulus presentation (x_pos_aligned_stimulus, y_pos_aligned_stimulus) and to the turning frame (x_pos_aligned_choice, y_pos_aligned_choice);
