Table 4 Summary of the behavioral and sensor data stored in each NWB file along with the imaging and video data.
Name | Raw | DS | Unit | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
tone | ○ | ○(*) | V | Digital (TTL) | Pulses representing when the auditory cue (10 kHz pure tone) is on. |
lever | ○ | ○ | mm | Analog | The distance of the lever from its baseline position. |
reward | ○ | ○(#) | V | Digital (TTL) | The pulses used for reward delivery. |
lick | ○ | ○(*) | V | Digital (TTL) | The output of the lick sensor indicating when the animal licked the spout. |
lick_rate | — | ○ | Hz | Analog | The lick rate calculated by applying an exponential kernel to the lick-event onset series. |
motion | ○ | ○ | a.u. | Analog | The output of the load-cell motion sensor. |
pull_duration | ○ | — | ms | Integer | The minimum duration for the animal to keep pulling the lever during the trial at a given time point. |
state_lever | ○ | ○ | NA | Boolean | The binary status indicating whether the lever is in the pulled state. |
state_task | ○ | ○ | NA | Integer | The state of the task: waiting phase (0), cued phase (1), or reward phase (2). |
air_pressure | ○ | ○ | hPa | Analog | The atmospheric air pressure level around the behavioral setup. |
CO2_level | ○ | ○ | ppm | Analog | The atmospheric carbon dioxide level around the behavioral setup. |
humidity | ○ | ○ | % | Analog | The atmospheric humidity around the behavioral setup. |
room_temp | ○ | ○ | °C | Analog | The atmospheric temperature around the behavioral setup. |
LED_B | ○ | — | V | Digital (TTL) | The pulses representing when the blue (470 nm) LED is on. |
LED_V | ○ | — | V | Digital (TTL) | The pulses representing when the violet (405 nm) LED is on. |
img_acquisition | ○ | — | V | Digital (CMOS) | Pulses from the camera for calcium imaging, each of which corresponds to the timing when a single frame becomes ready. |
video_trig | ○ | — | V | Digital (TTL) | The pulses representing when video-frame acquisition should be started. |
