The MVP downloads the Nature Communications source-data ZIP into ignored local raw-data storage. The authors also provide analysis/model code through the POMDP-Confidence GitHub/Zenodo code archive, but the complete raw behavioral MATLAB files referenced by the code (`beh_data.monkey1.mat` and `beh_data.monkey2.mat`) are not included in the public code archive or this committed atlas record. The article data-availability statement says the analyzed data are available from R.K. upon reasonable request.
Dataset
Khalvati-Kiani-Rao macaque RDM confidence source data
Source-data ZIP distributed with Khalvati, Kiani, and Rao 2021 for a Kiani-Shadlen macaque random-dot motion confidence task. The CSV files used by the MVP contain figure source rows for motion strength, motion duration, correctness, and sure-target choice for two monkeys.

Expected trial-table mapping
Canonical fields the harmonizer expects this dataset to populate.
| Canonical field | Source mapping |
|---|---|
| choice | Unknown because direction choice and sure-target saccade labels are not represented in the canonical left/right choice vocabulary. |
| correct | Boolean from `Correct` for accuracy source rows; empty for sure-target choice rows. |
| evidence_strength | Absolute percent motion coherence. |
| prior_context | Source-data row type, such as no-sure accuracy or sure-target choice. |
| response_time | Not mapped; source `Motion duration (msc)` is stored as a task variable rather than a response time. |
| session_id | Fixed processed source-data identifier because source session ids are not retained. |
| stimulus_side | Unknown for nonzero motion strengths and none for zero-strength rows. |
| stimulus_value | Absolute motion strength percentage because motion direction/sign is not retained. |
| subject_id | Monkey label formatted from source `M1` and `M2` figure files. |
| task_variables | Source panel, monkey, motion strength, motion duration, sure-target availability/chosen flags, and source file names. |
| trial_index | Global row index across paired figure source-data CSVs. |
Caveats
- The source-data CSVs are figure source data, not a full raw behavioral export.
- Signed motion direction, direction choice, raw session id, and saccade response time are not preserved in the CSVs used by this slice.
- Some source rows may describe overlapping underlying trials across figure panels; source panel identity is preserved in `task_variables`.
- Clearing proxy/source-data model caveats requires externally requested raw behavioral MATLAB files.
