Topic: naturalistic movies

Investigating vision through naturalistic stimuli holds great promise, because the visual system of any animal species is adapted to its ecological niche. In mice, such adaptations include a field of view exceeding 300° and cone opsins sensitive to UV and green light. These adaptations, however, cannot be probed with standard consumer displays.To present naturalistic stimuli with respect to coverage, color, and content to mice, we built a hemispheric dome setup, enabling the controlled projection of wide-field movies with UV-green spectral content. For our UV-green projection, we used a custom
