trompy

A collection of tools for plotting and data analysis from McCutcheon Lab based at UiT in Tromsø, Norway (hence trom-py). We study ingestive behavior and motivation in rodent neuroscience experiments but code may be useful in other settings.

Highlights include:

• GUI for analyzing lick patterns in rodent feeding and drinking experiments ¹
• GUI for analyzing fiber photometry data from rodent neuroscience experiments
• Function for plotting bar plots with individual data points
• Function for reading data files produced by Med Associates behavioral equipment
• Functions for analyzing patterns of licking in rodent experiments
• Functions for performing ROC (receiver-operator characteristic) analysis

Code is maintained by James McCutcheon, Dept of Psychology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
