pyNAVIS.loaders

SpikesFile

class pyNAVIS.loaders.SpikesFile(addresses=[], timestamps=[])

Class that contains all the addresses and timestamps of a file.

Variables:

• ~SpikesFile.timestamps (int[]) – Timestamps of the file.

• ~SpikesFile.addresses (int[]) – Addresses of the file.

Note

Timestamps and addresses are matched, which means that timestamps[0] is the timestamp for the spike with address addresses[0].

Loaders

class pyNAVIS.loaders.Loaders

Functionalities for loading spiking information from different formats.

Methods:

loadAEDAT(path, settings)	Loads an AEDAT (.aedat) file.
loadAEDATLocalization(path, settings, ...)	Loads an AEDAT (.aedat) file which contains events from both the NAS model and the SOC model (sound source localization).
loadCSV(path[, delimiter])	Loads a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) file.
loadCSVLocalization(path[, delimiter])	Loads a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) file which contains events from both the NAS model and the SOC model (sound source localization).
loadZynqGrabberData(path, settings, ...)	Loads a text (.txt) file with EAR events collected by the zynqGrabber.

static loadAEDAT(path, settings)

Loads an AEDAT (.aedat) file.

Parameters:

• path (string) – Full path of the AEDAT file to be loaded, including name and extension.

• settings (MainSettings) – Configuration parameters for the file to load.

Returns:

SpikesFile – SpikesFile containing all the addresses and timestamps of the file.

static loadAEDATLocalization(path, settings, localization_settings)

Loads an AEDAT (.aedat) file which contains events from both the NAS model and the SOC model (sound source localization).

Parameters:

• path (string) – Full path of the AEDAT file to be loaded, including name and extension.

• settings (MainSettings) – Configuration parameters for the file to load.

• localization_settings (LocalizationSettings) – Configuration parameters of the localization module for the file to load.

Returns:

SpikesFile – SpikesFile containing all the addresses and timestamps of the file. LocalizationFile: LocalizationFile containing all the events from both the MSO and LSO models of the file.

Raises:

SettingsError – If settings.address_size is different than 2 and 4.

static loadCSV(path, delimiter=',')

Loads a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) file.

Parameters:

• path (string) – Full path of the CSV file to be loaded, including name and extension.

• delimiter (char) – Delimiter to use in the CSV file.

Returns:

SpikesFile – SpikesFile containing all the addresses and timestamps of the file.

Note

The CSV file should contain one line per event, and the information in each line should be: address, timestamp

static loadCSVLocalization(path, delimiter=',')

Loads a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) file which contains events from both the NAS model and the SOC model (sound source localization).

Parameters:

• path (string) – Full path of the CSV file to be loaded, including name and extension.

• delimiter (char) – Delimiter to use in the CSV file.

Returns:

SpikesFile – SpikesFile containing all the addresses and timestamps of the file. LocalizationFile: LocalizationFile containing all the events from both the MSO and LSO models of the file.

Note

The CSV file should contain one line per event, and the information in each line should be: address, timestamp

The CSV format should be: address, timestamp, auditory_model, xso_type, neuron_id.

static loadZynqGrabberData(path, settings, localization_settings)

Loads a text (.txt) file with EAR events collected by the zynqGrabber.

Parameters:

• path (string) – Full path of the CSV file to be loaded, including name and extension.

• settings (MainSettings) – Configuration parameters for the file to load.

• localization_settings (LocalizationSettings) – Configuration parameters of the localization module for the file to load.

Returns:

spikes_file – SpikesFile containing all the addresses and timestamps of the file. localization_file: LocalizationFile containing all the events from both the MSO and LSO models of the file.
