Changes

• Bug fixed to allow analysis of optotagging data [#157]

v0.9.3.4

Patch release (fixes for new bugs introduced by v0.9.3.3)

See v0.9.3 release notes for v0.9.3.x enhancements.

v0.9.3.3

Additional changes to support Open in MATLAB Online workflow.

Changes

• Add bot.README script so that >>bot.README opens the gateway live script rather than run command in interactive mode

• Support testing workflows by running gateway live script (3 lines of code) when in batch mode

See v0.9.3 release notes for v0.9.3.x enhancements.

v0.9.3.2

Additional enhancements to support Open in MATLAB Online workflow.

Enhancements

• Addition of bot.README gateway live script, providing links to all the examples & 3 lines of code intro

Changes

• Examples are now in categorized folders outside the bot.* namespace (quickstarts, demos, tutorials)

See v0.9.3 release notes for v0.9.3.x enhancements.

v0.9.3.1

Patch release (fixes for new bugs introduced by v0.9.3.x)

See v0.9.3 release notes for v0.9.3.x enhancements.

v0.9.3

Major Enhancements

• Faster item data downloads via S3 remote data access
• Faster item list downloads via S3 remote data access
• Support for MATLAB Online

Enhancements

• Progress bar during linked file downloads
• Faster EphysQuickstart demo
• Elaborated & consistent quickstart live script examples across both ophys & ephys datasets
• Configurable preferences (via bot.util.getPreferences), including cache location/behavior & remote data access protocol (S3 vs REST)

Changes

• Item factory functions named bot.getXXX (previously: bot.XXX)
  • ex: bot.session() is now bot.getSessions()
• Item listing functions named bot.listXXX (previously: bot.fetchXXX)
  • ex: bot.fetchSessions() is now bot.listSessions()

v0.9.2

Enhancements

• Addition of Cell item class for ophys, analogous to Unit class for ephys
• Addition of metrics properties for Cell & Unit class objects
• Refresh of ephys/ophys demos & tutorials
• New quickstart guides for ephys & ophys
• New behavior tutorial walking through access & exploration of session behavioral data
• Use timetables for relevant item properties
• Improve item object array construction & display
• Use implicit array expansion instead of bsxfun
• New tutorial showing the combined use of the BOT with the Neural Decoding Toolbox

Fixes

• Fix ophys pupil_position propertty
• Restore Experiment item class for ophys, each comprising a group of 3 associated sessions

Brain Observatory Toolbox v0.9.1

Enhancements:
• Uniform top-level Item class names (Channel, Experiment, Probe, Session, Unit) in bot.item.* package
• Speedup access to stimulus_presentations property (and getPresentationwiseSpikeCounts/getPresentationwiseSpikeCounts methods)
• Reorganize stimulus_presentations table display for clarity
• Add dataset hint (“ephys” or “ophys”) argument to bot.session item creation function for faster performance
• Tutorial file enhancements

Fixes:
• stimulus_conditions & stimulus_presentations now display correctly after first on-demand access
