Plugin for the Open Ephys GUI to compute the exponentially weighted sliding mean or standard deviation of incoming continuous data.

Editor

Installing with CMake:

This plugin can now be built outside of the main GUI file tree using CMake. In order to do so, it must be in a sibling directory to plugin-GUI* and the main GUI must have already been compiled.

You should use this branch if you are already using CMake to build the cmake GUI (in development as of writing). Otherwise, use the old-gui branch.

See ContinuousStats/CMAKE_README.txt and/or the wiki page here for build instructions.

* If you have the GUI built somewhere else, you can specify its location by setting the environment variable GUI_BASE_DIR or defining it when calling cmake with the option -DGUI_BASE_DIR=<location>.

Usage:

Use the drop-down box to select mean or standard deviation. The "time constant" controls how rapidly the sliding statistics decay; it equals how long it takes for the influence of a sample to drop to 1/e of its original value.

Channels can be included/excluded from processing by selecting/deselecting them in the "Param" section the drawer.

Testing:

There is a test file in "Test" that allows you to compare the output of the plugin to the expected output (as implemented in MATLAB). See its header for more information.
