Description of dataset:

In our study we presented an optic flow stimulus simulating forward self-motion across a ground plane in one of three directions (30° to the left, straight ahead, 30° to the right) to eight human participants. In 57% of all trials TMS pulses were applied either to right hemisphere hMST or a control area while the optic flow stimulus was presented. Participants indicated the perceived heading of the self-motion stimulus.

The dataset contains the responses (perceived headings) of all eight participants (s1 to s8). The responses are reported here in degrees with 0 degrees representing a movement straight ahead, negative values describing movements forward to the left and positive values describing movements forward to the right.
