Stimulus-choice (mis)alignment in primate area MT
Fig 2
Experimental setup: Motion discrimination task.
Trials started with a fixation at the center of the monitor. 7 consecutive motion pulses were presented to the monkey while monkeys hold the fixation. Each motion pulse consists of drifting and flickering Gabor patches and lasts 150 ms. Random, signed motion strength was determined by changing the proportion of drifting vs. flickering Gabors patches. Monkeys reported their choice depending on the net direction by making a saccade to one of the two choice targets after the fixation point to disappear.
