\section*{Quantifying the coupling of action potentials to the EOD.}
|
|
P-unit electroreceptors are driven by the fish's self-generated field,
|
|
the EOD. In this project you have to quantify the strength of this
|
|
coulpling using the \textbf{vector strength}:
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
VS = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\cos
|
|
\alpha_i\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i = 1}^{n} \sin \alpha_i
|
|
\right)^2},
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
with $n$ the number of spikes and $\alpha_i$ the timing of the each
|
|
spike expressed as the phase relative to the EOD. The vector strength
|
|
varies between $0$ and $1$ for no phase locking to perfect phase
|
|
locking, respectively.
|
|
|
|
\begin{questions}
|
|
\question In the accompanying datasets you find recordings of the
|
|
``baseline'' activity of P-unit electroreceptors of different weakly
|
|
electric fish of the species \textit{Apteronotus leptorhynchus}.
|
|
The files further contain respective recordings of the \textit{eod},
|
|
i.e. the fish's field The data is sampled with 20\,kHz and the spike
|
|
times are given in seconds.
|
|
\begin{parts}
|
|
\part Plot an average of the single EOD cylces of each fish
|
|
together with an respective PSTH.
|
|
\part Implement a function that estimates the vector strength
|
|
between the \textit{eod} and the spikes.
|
|
\part Create a polar plot that shows the timing of the spikes
|
|
relatve to the EOD.
|
|
\part Analyze the baseline responses of each fish and extract
|
|
measures from them as you have done in week 3. Plot the results
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
\part Does the vector strength correlate with the EOD frequency?
|
