Description Details Slots

A RecSession object contains a description of the recording session.

Sessions are usually divided in several trials with one .dat file for each trial.

session: Name of the recording session
path: Directory where the recording session data are located
fileBase: Filebase of the session
animalName: Name of the animal
samplingRate: Sampling rate of the electrophysiological data
resofs: Number of samples in each trial
environment: List of environments for each trial
stimulation: List of stimulation types
setup: List of recording setups used in the recording session.
environmentFamiliarity: Indicate whether the environment was familiar (fam) or novel (nov) for the animal
electrodeLocation: List of electrode location, one per electrode
trialStartRes: Sample at which a trial starts. Index starts at 0
trialEndRes: Sample at which a trial ends. Index starts at 0
trialNames: Filebase of the individual trials
trialDurationSec: Length of the trials in sec
sessionDurationSec: Total length of the session in sec
nElectrodes: Number of electrodes
nChannels: Number of channels in the electrophysiological recordings
nTrials: Number of trials in the session
channelsTetrode: Matrix containing the channel numbers associated with each tetrode
clustered: Logical indicating if the spikes are clustered
earlyProcessed: Logical indicating if spike extraction has been done
pxPerCm: Numeric representing the number of pixels per cm in the position data
resSamplesPerWhdSample: Number of electrophysiological sample between two samples in the position file (whd)
