Data from: Size tuning of neural response variability in laminar circuits of macaque primary visual cortex

This dataset describes the relationship between neural response
variability and surround suppression. Typically, manipulations
that elicit neural response suppression quench variability, an observation
that has led some to suggest that these two phenomena may share a common
origin. However, few studies have systematically examined the relationship
between surround suppression and variability. Surround suppression is
mediated by multiple circuits and mechanisms that depend on the size of
the sensory stimulus and the cortical layer. Variability is also
laminar-dependent. This dataset helps to understand how surround
suppression affects neural response variability across layers of the
visual cortex. The dataset contains electrophysiological laminar
recordings that examine how neural response variability and the shared
variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size across the
layers of macaque primary visual cortex (V1).
