Outputs of pumpprobe signal extraction

[CodyCBakerPhD]

In pumpprobe/preprocessing I see a 'responses' folder with dumped .png plots of extracted signals, but having trouble finding that data output saved from the wormdatamodel.signal.extract function

The responses folder is holding .png files which are generated loading in the signal file (and doing additional post-processing and smoothing on this data according to user parameters).

There are multiple files storing the signal, using slightly different parameters/ordering. If I'm tracing the preprocessing code correctly, it looks like initially the signal is saved to green-prematching.txt (the most raw signal extraction). If the user adds the tag matchless-tracking when running this preprocessing code (which to my knowledge is standard) then the output is saved in green_matchless.txt. * The green.pickle and green.txt files are both generated as the last step of this preprocessing code - the green.pickle file is what is loaded in while making these .png files

• To clarify matchless tracking, if the neuron cannot be automatically segmented well enough to be tracked over time, then the signal is extracted from a stationary user-defined point which is taken to be the center of the neuron.

I believe the green.txt files and green.pickle files should store the same information, just in different formats

This has been explained at this point, thank you
