Requiring both is a harsh requirment. I don't know of an experiment that 
had both.

I would highly recommend the GEO. I've found it to be a comprehensive 
and clear database. Since it contains a few thousand experiments, I'm 
sure you can find what you are searching for - the problem is that the 
description of the experiments depends on the experimentors. Some of the 
descriptions are very good, others aren't as clear. In general, which 
target is which on each channel (in 2-channel arrays) is always present.

I hope this helps.
