Behavioral task configurations. The monkey fixates at an instructed location (x) and then two choice targets (red dots) appear in one of two configurations: (1) Target-in-RF: One of the targets is situated in the RF of the neuron being recorded from. (2) RDM-in-RF: Both targets are situated outside the RF. In the next step, the RDM is presented either inside (RDM-in-RF) or outside the RF (Target-in-RF). The monkey is free to report its decision any time after the appearance of the RDM by making a saccade to one of the targets. The alignment of the RDM and targets used in 16 sessions was slightly different and is shown in Figure 1-1.
