 ## Allen Institute
 
-The Allen Institute dataset ([youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YP-GYvYnuA)) is new this year, and it was designed to be very friendly for beginners. The mice do a visual adaptation task using either familiar or novel images. The recordings are from specific neuron populations (VIP, SST etc) in multiple visual cortical brain areas. This dataset is well supported with code and a dedicated project template. This would provide a more focused experience for beginner groups than the Steinmetz dataset, with the caveat that the data is unpublished so it is harder to find supporting information for it. For more advanced groups, a separate dataloader is available using the Allen Institute SDK, which gives access to the entire dataset for more exploratory analyses.
+The Allen Institute dataset ([youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YP-GYvYnuA)) is new this year, and it was designed to be very friendly for beginners. The mice do a visual change detection task using either familiar or novel images. The recordings are from specific neuron populations (Excitatory, VIP, and SST) in multiple visual cortical brain areas (V1 and LM). This dataset is well supported with code and a dedicated project template. This would provide a more focused experience for beginner groups than the Steinmetz dataset. For more advanced groups, a separate dataloader is available using the Allen Institute SDK, which gives access to the entire dataset for more exploratory analyses. You can learn more about the dataset and find additional description and helpful tools on [Allen Brain Atlas](https://allensdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/visual_behavior_optical_physiology.html) and [SWDB databook](https://allenswdb.github.io/physiology/ophys/visual-behavior/VB-Ophys.html).
