Options
  • Stimulus
    • duration=1000ms: Duration of signal (number)
    • pause=1000ms: Pause between signals (number)
    • freqsel=relative to EOD: Stimulus frequency is (string)
    • deltaf=5Hz: Delta f (beat frequency) (number)
    • contrast=20%: Contrast (number)
    • repeats=6: Repeats (integer)
    • am=true: Amplitude modulation (boolean)
    • sinewave=true: Use sine wave (boolean)
    • ampl=0.0: Relative amplitude of harmonics (string)
    • phase=0.0: Phase of harmonics (string)
    • contrastsel=fundamental: Contrast is (string)
  • Analysis
    • skip=0.5Periods: Skip (number)
    • ratebins=10: Number of bins for firing rate (integer)
    • before=0ms: Spikes recorded before stimulus (number)
    • after=0ms: Spikes recorded after stimulus (number)
    • adjust=true: Adjust input gain? (boolean)

Harmonics can be defined by ampl and phase. Enter the relative amplitude and the corresponding phase of each harmonic as comma separated values.

Files
  • samspikes#.dat : the spikes elicited by each SAM period of trace #.
  • samallspikes#.dat : the spikes elicited by each SAM stimulus of trace #.
  • samnerveampl.dat : the nerve potential elicited by each SAM period.
  • samnervesmoothampl.dat : the smoothed nerve potential elicited by each SAM period.
  • samallnerveampl.dat : the nerve potential elicited by each SAM stimulus.
  • samallnervesmoothampl.dat : the smoothed nerve potential elicited by each SAM stimulus.
  • samampl.dat : the SAM amplitudes for each SAM period.
  • samallampl.dat : the SAM amplitude for each stimulus.
  • samrate#.dat : the cyclic firing rate for a single SAM period of trace #.
Plots
  • Firing Rate: Spikes (red) and cyclic firing rate (yellow) for each SAM cycle.
  • SAM: Each period of the SAM stimulus (darkgreen). Last period green.
Requirements
  • Transdermal EOD recording (EODTrace2) and events (EODEvents2).
  • Recording of the stimulus events (SignalEvents1) if non AM stimuli are used.
  • One or more spike events (SpikeEvents[*]) or nerve recordings (NerveTrace1).
