Auditory stimuli suppress contextual fear responses in safety learning independent of a possible safety meaning

This repository stores the raw data that gave rise to the study by Mombelli et al. (2024) (Title: Auditory stimuli suppress contextual fear responses in safety learning independent of a possible safety meaning; DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2024.1415047, Journal: Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience).  Below we supply information on the provided metadata files which, in turn, refer to individual raw data files.

General structure of the repository:

·         the raw data is organized in 5 subsets defined by the figures or supplementary figures they contribute to. Each subset is documented by its own metadata file. Raw data files were compressed into ZIP archives, one per subset;

·         the metadata files listing names of the individual data files are provided in “.csv” format, one per data subset. Field separator: comma;

·         the dataset is accessible at the following doi: 10.5281/zenodo.13524007

Description of the non-textual data formats:

·         video recordings of animal behavior were provided as unmodified ".wmv" files created by the VideoFreeze acquisition software (Med Associates Inc). Video stream parameters: wmv3 codec, color space yuv420p, 320x240 pixels, 30 fps, bitrate 300 kb/s.

·         movement traces were obtained from the videos, as described in the Methods section (Mombelli et al., 2024).
