Training Report

This code provides some helpful functions for reporting training progress in rats training in the Brody lab.

Configuration

You will need to modify train_report_paths.m to point to the relevant directories containing rat data and where you'd like to save data.

On a Mac with cup mounted, you probably want tr.brodydir = '/Volumes/brody', whereas on the cluster you probably want tr.brodydir = '/jukebox/brody'.

You can specify a tr.parentsavedir to be whereever you want. It will automatically put a figures and data folder there for saving out figures and new compilations of data like the stages.mat files that contain all the training stages a rat experiences.

Looking at the full training history

get_training_stages and plot_training_stages can be used to compile a list of all of the protocols and protcol stages a rat encounters during training. It is also possible to grab settings of interest from the settings file as well.

You can specify these as an optset in train_report_config.m. You'll see there's already an example for the wait time protcol called wt and a minimal example for pbups.

To view the training history of rat B136, you can run

rat = 'B139';
start_date = '' % leaving this empty will get all sessions
res = get_training_stages(rat, start_date, 'overwrite', 1, 'config_optset',
'pbups');
plot_training_stages(res);
