Extracellular recordings from areas MSTd and VIP of macaque monkeys during a heading discrimination task

This dataset contains neural recordings carried out from two different brain areas –
dorsal Medial superior temporal cortex (MSTd) and ventral intraparietal cortex (VIP)
– of eleven rhesus macaques. The data include recordings carried out using three different
types of experiments: (1) Single-cell recordings during passive heading, (2) Single-cell
recordings during active heading discrimination, and (3) Simultaneous recordings from pairs
of neurons during passive heading. In each experiment, heading stimuli were delivered visually
(optic flow) as well as vestibularly (platform). Experiment (2) contains an additional
condition where we used a combination of visual and vestibular stimuli.
