Making physical spacing optional for drifting gratings + faster separable FilterNet #346

Closed shixnya closed 8 months ago

shixnya commented 8 months ago

The physical spacing of the drifting gratings became an option that can be written in the config file. (previously, it was fixed at 1/(cpd*10))

This changes the resulting visual responses ~10% because the default value was not sufficient for encoding spatial kernel. Future FilterNet run should specify this value as needed. (1.0 is a good ballpark if the smallest spatial kernel size is ~2 degrees.)
