This dataset assesses the influence of timescale on the processing of visual stimuli. Following training sessions where they reached at least 76% accuracy, five human subjects (four male and one female) were presented with the following task: brief samples of a contrast pattern were presented on screen for 200 ms, followed by a pause before the subjects were prompted to match the samples to one of two response targets. The gaps between the presentation of samples and response targets were either 1 to 4 seconds (“short”) or 2 to 8 seconds (“long”). Each trial consisted of 1 to 5 samples and 1 response prompt and trial was followed by a pause of at least 3 seconds. The subjects received feedback immediately after each trial.

A total of 14,869 trials were completed. The behavioral data includes two tables. First table contains trial data that describes behavioral choice and response accuracy, where the second table contains pulse data that describes timing and strength of information.
