Chronic Imaging of ferret 2181

Calcium Imaging Experiments for one animal (F2181) imaged on 5 imaging sessions. Experiments were performed every two days, starting two days prior to the natural time of eye opening (EO-2) until six days after eye opening (EO+6).

Imaging experiments were performed by Jeremy T. Chang and David E. Whitney in the lab of David Fitzpatrick at the Max Planck Florida Institute. The data were used in (Chang, Whitney, Fitzpatrick, 2020) and (Trägenap et al., 2025).

Each folder contains:

• large scale spontaneous events extracted from 10 min of imaging without visual stimulation (see Smith et al., 2018) in shape (#events, #X-Dim, #Y-dim)
• trials recorded for 16 moving grating stimuli and one blank, response measures at different timepoint after stimulus onset (0.5 s interval from 0s to 3.5s) in shape (#timepoints, #trials, #stim, #X-Dim, #Y-dim)
  • for binocular, contralateral, and ipsilateral stimulation

The file 'commonROI.npy' contains a mask outlining the region of high GCaMP6s expression and excluded bloodvessels.
