These data are the means and variance of spike counts in an analysis window beginning at motion onset of the visual stimulus, within the receptive field of MT neurons recorded in anesthetized or alert non-human primates. Dot motion was presented in a range of motion directions, with 0 degrees being the preferred direction of each cell. The tuning of the variability in the response and a model accounting for these state-dependent changes is in press at PLoS Computational Biology, along with more details on the data collection and analysis. A preprint is available at:https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10548 These data consist of a MatLab data file with two saved data structures, units and autocorrelation. units is an 80-element structure, oneentry for each recorded extracellular single unit (putative neuron) in the recording with the following fields: state indicates whether the subject was anesthetized or alert during the recording stimDir is the direction of motion, in degrees, of the moving dot stimulus latency is the latency, in milliseconds, to the response onset latAlign are the spike counts and variancein a 150ms window beginning at response onset stimAligned are the spike counts and variance in a 250ms window beginning at motion onset MI is the mutual information between motion directions between +/- 90 degreesand the cumulative spike counts at a range of time points sincemotiononset, given in MI_time_vec. The mutual information quantity is extrapolated to the infinite data size limit via quadratic extrapolation. MI_time_vec is a vector of times (in milliseconds) since motion onset used in the information calculation autocorrelation is a scalar structure containing the fields: alert is the average autocorrelation (range +/- 1) of thespike counts (analyzed in a 2ms window and smoothed over 5 bins) in the alert units during presentation of the null (no dot motion) stimulus anesthetized is the average autocorrelation (computed as for the alert units)of the anesthetized units during presentation of the null stimulus timePoints are the time point shifts in milliseconds corresponding to the calculated autocorrelations in alert and anesthetized
