- Options
- nchirps (
integer): Number of chirps per stimulus.
- minspace (
number, ms): Minimum time between chirps (AM only).
- firstspace (
number, ms): Time preceeding first chirp (AM only).
- pause (
number, ms): Pause between successive stimuli.
- deltaf (
number, Hz): Beat frequency.
- contrast (
number, %): Contrast (AM amplitude / EOD amplitude)
- chirpsize (
number, Hz): Size of the chirp.
- chirpwidth (
number, ms): Width of the chirp.
- chirpkurtosis (
number): Kurtosis of Gaussian chirp (>1 broader, <1 narrower).
- chirpampl (
number, %): Reduction of EOD amplitude during a chirp.
- repeats (
integer): Number of stimulus repetitions (0: infinite).
- beatpos (
integer): Number of beat positions used for analysis.
- ratedt (
number, ms): Resolution of firing rate.
- am (
boolean): AM stimulus or direct stimulus.
- sinewave (
boolean): If direct stimulus: use sine wave or the fishes EOD.
- playback (
boolean): Record transdermal amplitude evoked by direct stimulus and replay it as an AM stimulus.
- Files
- chirps.dat : General information for each chirp in each stimulus.
- chirptraces.dat : Frequency and amplitude of the transdermal EOD for each chirp.
- chirpspikes#.dat : The spikes elicited by each chirp of trace #.
- chirpallspikes#.dat : The spikes elicited by each stimulus of trace #.
- chirpnerveampl.dat : The nerve potential elicited by each chirp.
- chirpnervesmoothampl.dat : The smoothed nerve potential elicited by each chirp.
- chirpallnerveampl.dat : The nerve potential elicited by each stimulus.
- chirpallnervesmoothampl.dat : The smoothed nerve potential elicited by each stimulus.
- chirpeodampl.dat : Amplitude of the transdermal EOD for each stimulus.
- chirprate.dat : The firing rate for each chirp position.
- Plots
- Rate: Spikes (direct stimulus: red, AM: magenta) and firing rate (direct stimulus: yellow, AM: orange) for each chirp position.
- Beat: Amplitude of transdermal EOD for each chirp position (darkgreen). Last stimulus green.
- Requirements
- Optional: EOD events (
EODEvents1). Recommended if direct stimulation is used.
- Transdermal EOD recording (
EODTrace2) and events (EODEvents2).
- Recording of the stimulus events (
SignalEvents1) if direct stimuli are used.
- One or more spike events (
SpikeEvents[*]) or nerve recordings (NerveTrace1).
