The authors measured eye movements evoked by electrical stimulation delivered simultaneously to two sites in the superior colliculus of nonhuman primates. The effects of current frequency and intensity on movement trajectories are available. The data are potentially useful for understanding algorithms for decoding movement commands from population activity in the superior colliculus.
This dataset includes pre-processed reaching movement kinematic data generated by three adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). The animals were trained to perform a challenging delayed-reaching task in which they knew in advance the magnitude of the reward they would earn for a successful movement. The experiments were conducted to determine whether nonhuman animals "choke under pressure" (perform...
