Description: This dataset contains behavioral data assessing the sensitivity of five human subjects (one female and four male) to higher-order moments of motion as applied to random dot kinematograms. The dots were manipulated by probability distributions that systematically differed in their mean, variance, skewness, or kurtosis. Following training sessions where they reached at least 80% accuracy, subjects were...

Description: 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...

Description: This dataset presented results from psychophysics and modeling that supports the use of image statistics heuristics in the judgement of metallicity. To investigate visual features associated with the interpretation of metallic objects, five practiced participants (aged 23 to 28 years old) with normal color vision and normal or corrected-to-normal visual acuity were recruited to perform a conjoint-measurement...

Description: To investigate the relationship between two behavioral markers of arousal (pupil size and brain activity) and perceptual decision-making, recordings were simultaneously obtained on pupil size and brain activity using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Data was collected from a total of 24 adult participants during eyes-open rest sessions and a visual perceptual decision-making task. Two 5-minute rest...

Description: The investigators collected behavioral data from two macaque monkeys (M1 and M2) who were presented with a direction discrimination task with post-decision wagering. These monkeys received prior training to report the net direction of motion of a set of randomly moving dots. In each trial, the subject fixed their gaze on an initial fixation point, then red dots would appear on the periphery of the...

Description: To investigate the GABAergic and glutamatergic systems and neural specificity in the visual cortex of glaucoma patients, the research team recruited 40 patients with glaucoma (14 with early glaucoma and 16 with advanced glaucoma) and 24 age-matched healthy subjects to undergo clinical ophthalmic exams and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with fixation tasks. Researchers obtained the following data: Structural...

Description: The investigators recruited 14 adult patients undergoing evaluation at NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center prior to surgery, 24 healthy volunteers participating in-person, and 60 healthy volunteers participating online for experiments to examine the influence of long-term prior knowledge ('priors') on perception. Bistable perception task: 14 epilepsy patients who were undergoing surgical evaluation...
