PROJECT 1: BRAIN MECHANISMS FOR SKILL LEARNING
- Introduction
- Data Collection
- Training starts at
1:30 pm (for 50 minutes) everyday from Monday to Friday during the third
week of the term.
- Training
data record table
- terminology on the
record table
- eat: completely
successful in reaching, grasping and eating the food
- grasp: able to reach
and grasp the food, but eventually fail to transport the food to mouth
- reach: make attempt
to reach, but push the food away
- Raw data
- behavioural
training
- field potential
recording data (in the unit of mV).
Data for 7 stimulus intensities: 63, 100, 159, 398, 631, 798, 1000
mA
(micro A), are listed in 7 corresponding columns in each text file. Data from different animals and from
the left and right side of the brains are separated into different files
(e.g., rat-2-left.txt refers to the data from the left brain of rat
#2).
