Recordings from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) during the presentation of a range of visual stimuli: natural movies, white-noise patterns and full-field flicker, each presented at two or more contrast levels, both as long non-repeating sequences and as many repetitions of short clips. This combination of stimulus types, contrasts and repeated presentations makes the dataset useful for both...
