Focus on "core" features

[MichaelCurrie]

Here's the list of 'core' features with a brief description.

• Andre

length - the length of the worm's midline

area - the area of the worm

midbody_bend_mean_abs - the absolute value of the worm's midbody bend angle

max_amplitude - the maximum distance between the points on the worm body that are farthest from the line connecting the head and the tail

head_tip_speed_abs - the absolute value of the worm's head speed (will capture some contribution from the high frequency 'foraging' motion of the worm's head).

midbody_speed_abs - the absolute value of the worm's midbody speed

path_range - the farthest distance recorded between the worm's staring point and any point on its trajectory during the recording

forward_motion_frequency - the frequency of forward motion bouts

paused_motion_frequency - the frequency of pauses (where the worm doesn't move much)

backward_motion_frequency - the frequency of reversals (where the worm moves backward for some time)

I'm thinking of making these into a mirrored truncated list that sits above the full list of parameter features. They can be selected and deselected like the main list, and their effects will be mirrored on the main list.

The implementation of the core features list as discussed have been completed and checked into the master branch. In a little git discipline boo-boo, I will also have to check in the exact copy in the dev branch.
