Saccade analysis tools¶

This repository contains various tools for analyzing saccade patterns of flies from tethered and free flight data.

There are several distinct chunks of code aggregated here:

• Matlab code for extracting saccades from tethered data, hand-labeling the samples for QA insurange, and generation of accuracy statistics.
• Matlab code for analyzing saccade patterns (both tethered and free flight).
• Python code for doing some additional analysis.

A companion package, in a separate repository, is the Geometric Saccade Detector, a Python tool to extract saccades from Flydra data.

Contents of this manual:

• Directory layout for data and code.
• Saccade format description
• Tethered data analysis.
• Miscellaneous python scripts.
