V1 Receptive Field Mapping Lab

You are recording from a single neuron in primary visual cortex (V1). Your goal: determine the neuron's receptive field location, preferred orientation, and cell type by probing with different stimuli and observing the firing rate. Mark regions you find as excitatory (+) or inhibitory (−), then reveal the answer.
