Make `BaseData.trialinfo` human-readable #72

Open joschaschmiedt opened 4 years ago

joschaschmiedt commented 4 years ago

Currently the information about each trial stored in the BaseData.trialinfo array consists only of scalar numbers describing e.g. stimulus orientation, reaction time, ... The users have to manage and lookup the meaning of these on their own. It could be useful to provide tools making these values human-readable.

That sounds pretty useful indeed, and as we also neglected trialdefinition in the doc so far it's time to brush up this important API component.

We need more info from other users on what they consider intuitive/readable here (Pascal, DJ). Also, comparison with fieldtrip. We put this onto the agenda for next POM.

TODO: Look up how this is handled in FT.
