# Electrophysiology datasets (3 Purkinje cells + experimental parameters) #

parameters are given as MATLAB workspace variables; electrophysiology data is in .h5 format

1. "ephys_parameters.mat"
  contains:
  - parameters for visual stimuli given in milliseconds
  - acquisition parameters including sampling frequency
  - the time base for points to ms conversion 
    * note that there is a delay until the trigger begins for visual stimulus presentation so this is why the time base starts at negative values (trigger is where time == 0)
    * note that the electrophysiology traces are acquired at 8.33 KHz, so the time base must always be converted from points to ms
   
   
2. sample dataset from 3 Purkinje cells with different visual complex spike phenotypes

PC1: Purkinje cell with a direction-selective motion onset complex spike phenotype ('group 1')
     a) PC_type1_DS_motion_onset.h5: the trace from the Purkinje cell recording 
     b) VR_type1_DS_motion_onset.h5: the ventral root recording
     c) condition_type1_DS_motion_onset.h5: the condition, classified as 1 = 'stimuli' or 0 = 'blank' (spontaneous activity, no visual stimuli)
        
PC2:sample dataset from a Purkinje cell with a direction-selective rotational velocity complex spike phenotype ('group 2')
  - same structure as for #2

PC3: sample dataset from a Purkinje cell with a luminance complex spike phenotype ('group 3')
  - same structure as for #2
