Title
Szechtman Lab Collection - RAWDATA Objects: Track Files
Description
This item set contains one of the four types of RAWDATA objects in the FRDR repository. This type of RAWDATA object is called "TrackFile" and is a file that contains a list of x,y coordinates extracted by EthoVision software at a rate of 30 fps from the video record of a trial. The x,y coordinates are of the center of the image of a rat's body as the rat moves in the open field during a 55 min long trial. , The track file has the extension "csv" and the name of the file ends with "_TrackFile". Track file names are 38 characters long and are named according to a fixed format. Specifically, using the track file name "Q48QRNA001_01_4_0139_0019651_TrackFile.csv" as an example,
Column 1-7 are IDStudy (here, Q48) and IDStudyLabel (here, QRNA)
Column 8-10 is RatNumber in the study (here, 001), formatted as a 3 characters string
Together, IDStudy+IDStudyLabel+RatNumber in Column 1-10 is RatUniqueID (here, Q48QRNA001), a unique ID for every individual rat tested
Column 11 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 12-13 is InjectionNumber (here, 01) and this value indicates that it was injection number 1 (number format is 2 characters string)
Column 14 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 15 is Dose, coded as a 1 character string (here, 4 is 0.25 mg/kg)
Column 16 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 17-20 is TrackFileNameNumberInEthovision (here, 0139) and is a 4 character number assigned in EthoVision work file to the track (.trk) record of the trial
Column 21 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 22-28 is ID7String (here, 0019651), a unique 7 characters ID number assigned to each trial
The ending of the file name is "_TrackFile" and it indicates that the file is a list of the x,y coordinates constituting the tracks (routes) of locomotion in the 55 min long trial.
Column 8-10 is RatNumber in the study (here, 001), formatted as a 3 characters string
Together, IDStudy+IDStudyLabel+RatNumber in Column 1-10 is RatUniqueID (here, Q48QRNA001), a unique ID for every individual rat tested
Column 11 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 12-13 is InjectionNumber (here, 01) and this value indicates that it was injection number 1 (number format is 2 characters string)
Column 14 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 15 is Dose, coded as a 1 character string (here, 4 is 0.25 mg/kg)
Column 16 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 17-20 is TrackFileNameNumberInEthovision (here, 0139) and is a 4 character number assigned in EthoVision work file to the track (.trk) record of the trial
Column 21 is the underscore character (_) to mark the separation from the next code
Column 22-28 is ID7String (here, 0019651), a unique 7 characters ID number assigned to each trial
The ending of the file name is "_TrackFile" and it indicates that the file is a list of the x,y coordinates constituting the tracks (routes) of locomotion in the 55 min long trial.
