Introduction to MatOFF
Overview
MatOFF is an interactive analysis program that searches neurophysiological data and plots the results. MatOFF was developed especially for dealing with the complexities common to behavioral neurophysiological experiments. It runs under Windows 2000 or XP and relies on MATLAB version R11.1 (or above) for all operations.
MatOFF searches a data file to locate and plot epochs (trials) of special interest to the investigator. Appropriate input data files have time-stamped event codes, usually including neuron action potential firing events (spikes), and digitized analog data. The user specifies a list of event code numbers that uniquely identify a sequence of events. MatOFF uses this sequence to search the raw data file, select the epochs that meet the criteria, time-shift the trials to align them on a common event, order the epochs based on user-selected criteria, and plot the results based on a collection of page formatting specifications. MatOFF will also save extracted data and some statistics to disk.
