Gitlab Repository Biofysica

back to Programming

Description

The biofysica repository is the main repository written by and used in the Biophysics Department. The code consists mainly of for matlab code for performing experiments and analysing experimental data.

Experiments:

• Sound Localization experiments with TDT System 3 or RZ6
• EEG experiments
• NIRS experiments
• Audiogram (arcMAA) with RZ6

Data analysis:

• Audition
• Bayesian data analysis
• Pupillometry
• Reaction time
• Saccade analysis
• Spike analysis

Other:

• utilities

N.B. The Matlab files beginning with 'pa_' are developed by Marc van Wanrooij and are originally part of the Perception and Action Toolbox (PandA).

How to install the toolbox

• Download the biofysica toolbox from Gitlab and save it in C:\Users\MyName\Documents\MATLAB\biofysica
• Add to your startup.m file:

addpath('C:\Users\MyName\Documents\MATLAB\biofysica'); 
init_biofysica;

When you are not certain how to use Gitlab you can find more info here: Gitlab.

Repository content

The repository has several directories:

TDT

Contains all relevant TDT manuals for ActiveX programming, RZ6, system3 and RPvdsEx programming.

• MF1: contains info about the MF1 speaker kit of tucker davis
• PM2rRBOXRZ6: contains info about connecting the RBOXRZ6 to the PM2r control port (DB25 digital I/O).
• Users/Marc van Wanrooij: contains some *.rcx files used by Marc van Wanrooij

audiogram

Contains matlab and rcx code for the arcMAA experiment. MAA stands for Minimum Audible Angle. The experiments is done in the NIRS-EEG lab with the speaker arc.

audition

• HRTF: contains matlab functions for calculating and manipulating head-related transfer functions.
• localization: contains matlab functions for localization of stimuli.
• oldpa: contains older matlab functions from the Panda toolbox.

backwards

Contains only the script loadtdt.m that reads a *.tdt file. It is no longer used.
