BControl - Behavioral Experimentation System

BControl is a sophisticated system designed for conducting behavioural experiments with high precision and flexibility. It aims to facilitate rapid interaction with experimental subjects, provide high-time-resolution measurements, and offer ease of programming and modification. For more information, check out the Brody lab wiki.

ratter Repository

This repository stores the BControl code for our high-throughput behavior training facility. Certain directories and files within the ratter repository are intentionally excluded from version control:

• The /SoloData/ directory contains raw data and configuration files essential for running experiments. It is version-controlled with SVN and stored on our internal server.

• The /ExperPort/Settings/Settings_Custom.conf file contains rig-specific configurations. Instead, we provide /ExperPort/Settings/_Settings_Custom.conf, which is a template. After downloading, users should rename it to Settings_Custom.conf and add their rig-specific settings.

• The /PASSWORD_CONFIG-DO_NOT_VERSIONCONTROL.mat file stores hostnames, users, and passwords. It is version-controlled with SVN and stored on our internal server.
