Structure for folder/path names

Single session

/ path / to / dir / [DIR_NAME_FT_EXPERIMENT_KEYWORDS] / [DATE]_[SUBJECT_ID]_[EXPERIMENT]

[DIR_NAME_FT_EXPERIMENT_KEYWORDS]

  • is the name of the directory holding the experiment data
  • e.g. eOPN3_CA3_2408 or Alzheimers_20240912-30_CA3
  • there is no requirement for a specific format, but try to be consistent with a set of experiments

[DATE]

  • format: YYMMDD (e.g. 240912 for September 12, 2024)

[SUBJECT_ID]

[EXPERIMENT]

  • is the experiment name
  • e.g. cueShiftOmitIAA-001
  • no requirement for a specific format, but try to be consistent with a set of experiments

NOTE: Underscores are required between the subject ID, and experiment name

Multisession

/ path / to / dir / _MS_[DIR_NAME_FT_EXPERIMENT_KEYWORDS]_[BRAIN_REGION] / [SUBJECT_ID]_[NUM_SESSIONS]

_MS_

  • prefix for multisession directories
  • notes each folder within directory contains multSessSegStruc (see wrapMultSessStruc)
  • automatically prepended by wrapMultSessStruc

[DIR_NAME_FT_EXPERIMENT_KEYWORDS]

  • recommended to use words like OPTO, eOPN3, AD (Alzheimers), Ag (Aged)
  • if output_folder is not specified (by default, it is not), wrapMultSessStruc will prompt user to input experiment keywords for output folder name
  • these keywords are required in order to trigger certain conditions to run in PostCR_CueCellFinder and CR_CI_collater

[BRAIN_REGION]

  • if output_folder is not specified (by default, it is not), wrapMultSessStruc will prompt user to input brain region
  • between CA3 & DG
  • this is required since it is used to set certain parameters for CellRegistrar_wROICaT

[SUBJECT_ID]_[NUM_SESSIONS]

NOTE: Underscores are required between each element of the folder name
