Motion Analysis System

Structure of Motion Analysis System

Files are required for storing MA data into NWB Structure

File	Description
*.anc	Analog data for synchronization in text Can be read with function importdata() in matlab
_cleaned.trc	Cleaned MA data in text Can be read with function importdata() in matlab

Files are not used for storing MA data into NWB Structure

File	Description
.anb	Analog data for synchronization in binary
.cap	Configuration/Description file during recording (text)
_cleaned.trb	Cleaned MA data in binary
_cleaned.cap	Configuration/Description file during recording and cleaning (text)

NWB Structure Storing Motion Analysis Data

Cleaned MA marker data in _cleaned.trc file

Cleaned MA marker data are stored as a TimeSeries structure under the key ‘ma_marker’ in the structure of nwb.acquisition.

Notes:

• ma_marker.timestamps:

  Timestamps for samples stored in data

• ma_marker.data:

  x, y, z positions of all recorded joints at all timestamps

MA Synchronization data in .anc file

MA Synchronization data are stored as a TimeSeries structure under the key ‘ma_sync’ in the structure of nwb.acquisition.

Notes:

• ma_sync.timestamps:

  Timestamps for samples stored in data

• ma_sync.data:

  MA synchronization data at all timestamps, there are total 12 channels for synchronization, should identify while channel is used. Now data of all the 12 channels are stored into NWB structure.
