With such stimulus material the response error can range only from -90 to 90 degrees (or -pi/2 to pi/2). When using data from such a task, you have to multiply the `response_error` by 2 when pre-processing the data, so that the response error ranges from -180 to 180 degrees (or -pi to pi). The same applies to the `nt_features` relative to the target orientation. + + # References
