This repository describes two visual stimuli used in functional descriptions of cortical circuits: Monet and Trippy.
Both stimuli were designed to simultaneously measure linear receptive fields and motion tuning of visually responsive neurons.
Some of the results from using these stimuli were included in our SfN 2018 poster: SfN 2018 Poster
The Monet stimulus comprises smoothened Gaussian noise with coherent orientation and motion in various directions. A sample of the stimulus can be found here: https://vimeo.com/249686342
The Trippy stimulus comprises irregular fluid ripples wriggling randomly across the visual field; they are synthesized as the cosine of a smooth Guassian noise movie.
