The Stringer dataset contains simultaneous recordings of 10,000 or 20,000 neurons from a mouse's visual cortex either during the presentation of gratings or during spontaneous behaviours like running, whisking and sniffing.
- Predict the pupil area changes over time from the neural activity obtained from a V1 neuronal population from a mouse in a dark environment.
- Evaluate different linear and non-linear decoder models for accuracy
