I think the Natural Scenes Dataset [1] is awesome. But enormous in scale. I was having some trouble parsing through the data manual and tons of data files, so I decided to make an easy interface in Python to get stimuli (COCO images) and the neural response (betas).

Now in python you can download and use the data as easy as See how the code above executes in example.ipynb.
