Single unit analisis
Script to process single unit data and quantify activity (e.g. spontaneous peaks and correlations) on arbitrary epoch definitions.

Installation
- Download and install MATLAB.
- Download and extract source files to
Documents/MATLAB - For analyses involving deconvolution of CA²⁺ data, download and implement such library in the code. For example, download OASIS library, run
oasis_setup.m, and use one of the examples under examples.
Usage
- Run
setup.mto add FPA dependencies to the MATLAB search path. - Create a copy of the example script.
- Change the configuration variables and the data loader according to your data acquisition system.
- Define epochs.
- Change settings and thresholds to compute peaks and clusters.
- Click
Run.
Epochs consists of an array of timestamps indicating start and stop times (in seconds) of a given condition {'epoch1', [start1, end1, start2, end2, ...], 'epoch2', ...}. For example:
MATLAB
epochs = {'A', [100, 200], 'B', [200, 500], 'C', [500, 600, 600, 700]};
means there are three epochs called A, B, and C:
A: 100 to 200
B: 200 to 500
C: 500 to 600 then 600 to 700
Documentation
msa = MSA(data, configuration);
Normalize, filter, and detect peaks of spontaneous activity in user defined epochs.
Each column in data corresponds to activity from individual cells.
configuration is a struct with the following fields (defaults are used for missing fields):
- conditionEpochs - Epochs for different conditions: {'epoch1', [start1, end1, start2, end2, ...], 'epoch2', ...}
- thresholdEpochs - Epochs to include for peak threshold calculation.
- events - Event-triggered data; times at which a type of event occurs.
- resamplingFrequency - Resampling frequency (Hz).
- lowpassFrequency - Lowest frequency permitted in normalized signal.
- peakSeparation - Minimum time separation between two peaks.
Processing steps
- Resample signal and reference to a given frequency.
- Baseline correction modeled as an exponential decay of the low-pass filtered data (optionally using airPLS).
- Correct for motion artifacts by subtracting reference to signal, after a polynomial fit (optional).
- Remove fast oscillations with a low-pass filter.
- Normalize data as df/f or z-score according to settings.
- Find peaks of spontaneous activity in low-pass filtered data.
Normalization is calculated as (f - f0) / f1 where f0 and f1 can be data provided by the user or calculated using given functions:
See examples and source code for detailed analysis steps and default parameters. Units for time and frequency are seconds and hertz respectively.
