baseline zscore computation clarification #70

Closed h1408 closed 6 months ago

h1408 commented 6 months ago

Hello, I am interested in trying to use the baseline z-score method. In the input parameters GUI, it asks for a baseline window start time and end time in seconds. I wanted to clarify if this would be a time window prior to the first stimulus? And if so, if I cut off 3 seconds from the beginning of the trace, should my baseline window start time take that into account or should we note the start time as if no time was cut off from the beginning of the trace? For example, if I cut off 3 seconds from the start of the trace, and I wanted to use the beginning of that 'new' trace up until 60 seconds as the baseline for z score, would I put the baseline start and end windows as 0 and 60 or 3 and 63 seconds? Thank you in advance for your help with this!

You cut your trace using the parameter "Eliminate first few seconds", right ?

Yes!

venus-sherathiya commented 6 months ago

If you want to use first 60 seconds, you should put 0 to 60 seconds

Okay I will do that, thank you for the clarification!
