Download from Figshare and extract one session directory locally. The atlas Steinmetz adapter reads `trials.*.npy` ALF files from that extracted directory and keeps no-go/no-turn outcomes explicit as canonical withhold choices.
Dataset
Steinmetz mouse visual decision Figshare/ONE dataset

Expected trial-table mapping
Canonical fields the harmonizer expects this dataset to populate.
| Canonical field | Source mapping |
|---|---|
| choice | Wheel-derived left, right, or no-go/no-turn outcome. |
| correct | Source feedback or reward outcome mapped to correctness. |
| evidence_strength | Absolute contrast difference or source-specific bilateral contrast tuple. |
| feedback | Reward or error feedback from source trial fields. |
| response_time | Movement onset or response time relative to stimulus onset. |
| session_id | ONE session identifier. |
| stimulus_side | Side with positive visual evidence, or none for no-stimulus trials. |
| stimulus_value | Signed contrast difference, preferably right contrast minus left contrast. |
| subject_id | Mouse identifier from session metadata or subject folder. |
| task_variables | left contrast, right contrast, go cue, stimulus onset, wheel movement, no-go condition, reward volume or feedback, passive replay flag, and neural probe/session metadata. |
| trial_index | Trial number within the trials object. |
Caveats
- The task is not a strict 2AFC dataset because no-go/no-turn outcomes are valid.
- Trial-level comparisons with IBL visual decision records require an explicit mapping from bilateral contrast combinations to the canonical stimulus axis.
