readNSx (version 0.0.6)

import_nsp: Import signal data from 'Blackrock-Microsystems' data files

Description

Please use import_nsp to import 'NEV' and 'NSx' files.

Usage

import_nsp(
  path,
  prefix = NULL,
  exclude_events = "spike",
  exclude_nsx = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  partition_prefix = "/part"
)

Value

A list of configurations, see get_specification for what's contained.

Arguments

path

path to 'NEV' or 'NSx' files

prefix

path prefix to save data files into

exclude_events

exclude one or more 'NEV' data events, choices are 'spike', 'video_sync', 'digital_inputs', 'tracking', 'button_trigger', 'comment', 'configuration'; default is 'spike' since the spike data takes very long time to parse, and most users might still use their own offline spike-sorting algorithms.

exclude_nsx

excluded 'NSx' types, integer vectors from 1 to 9; for example, exclude_nsx=c(1,2) will prevent 'ns1' and 'ns2' from being imported

verbose

logical or a progress object: when logical, verbose indicates whether to print the progress as messages; when verbose is a progress object, this object must have inc method; examples are Progress in the shiny package, progress2 from dipsaus, or shiny_progress from shidashi

partition_prefix

additional prefix to the data partition; default is "/part"

Examples

# Please get your own sample data first. This package does not
# provide sample data for privacy and license concerns :)

if(interactive() && file.exists("sampledata.nev")) {

library(readNSx)

# ---- Import for the first time --------------------------------
import_nsp(
  path = "sampledata.nev",
  prefix = file.path(
    "~/BIDSRoot/MyDataSet/sub-YAB/ses-008/ieeg/",
    "sub-YAB_ses-008_task-congruency_acq-NSP1_run-01"
  ),
  exclude_events = "spike", partition_prefix = "/part"
)

# ---- Load header information --------------------------------
prefix <- "sub-YAB_ses-008_task-congruency_acq-NSP1_run-01"
nev <- get_nev(prefix)
ns3 <- get_nsx(prefix, which = 3)

# get nev from nsx, or nsx from nev
get_nev(ns3)
get_nsx(nev, which = 5)

# ---- Load channel data
result <- get_channel(prefix, channel_id = 10)
channel_signal <- result$channel_detail$part1$data
channel_signal[]
