Mouse Neural and Behavioral Data for Intermittent Odor Perception

16.6 GB of neural and behavioral recordings from mice performing an odor discrimination task. The dataset, authored by Luis Boero and last updated in March 2026, captures responses to stochastic odor pulses across dozens of breaths. It includes measurements from olfactory sensory neurons and anterior piriform cortex neurons, correlating perceptual weight with respiration phase.

Use Cases

• Modeling sensory evidence accumulation based on stochastic cortical neuron responses described in the study
• Analyzing respiration-phase dependency in perception using the behavioral task data
• Investigating neural representation limits in the anterior piriform cortex referenced in the description
• Training classifiers to predict behavioral decisions from intermittent odor pulse sequences

Strengths

• Dataset size is 16.6 GB, indicating substantial data volume.
• Data is stored in efficient formats like PARQUET and NPY.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
