KinarmAnalysis

This repo host a collection of script for the analysis of kinarm data in Matlab enviroment developed during my master thesis project at KU Leuven in 2017. The scripts are organized as a series of nested classes. The idea is to automatize and standardize the analysis of those kind of data, as well as to organize the information in a more sensible structure. They are intended to be used on reaching data.

Usage

Getting Started

Class hierarchy and properties description

Experiment fields

    Subjects        An array of subject objects
    Tasks           An array of task objects
    Parameters      A structure with a whole bunch of descriptive parameters
    Filename        A string containing the path where to store the data

Task fields

    Fs                      Samplig frequency
    NTrials                 Number of trials
    TaskProtocol            Name of the task protocol
    ID                      Int. Unique Task ID
    MovType                 Movement Type, can be CenterOut, OutCenter or Both
    UniqueMovements         A matrix containing for each unique movement the starting target and the ending target
    EventsDefinitions       A cell array containing the strings with the events names
    
                    All the *Tables are structures with a "Names" and a "Matrix" field. Names contains the column names. This will be updated by using the tables data type from Matlab.
    TargetTable
    LoadTable
    TrialProtocolTable
    BlockTable
    
    ChangeBlockIndex        [1xNBlocks] In this array is stored the trial index where a block change happens.
    CatchIndex              [1xNtrials] logical array stating true when a trial is a catch trial.

Subjects Fields

    ID              Int. Unique ID for the subject
    Height          --|
    Weight          --|
    Age             --|
    DateOfBirth     --|
    Gender          --|     Infos taken directly from the c3d data.
    DominantHand    --|
    Notes           --|
    Classification  --|
    
    Sessions                Array of session class
    LinkedExperiment        Handle to the Experiment where this subject is contained. 

Session fields

    IntrestingData          Structure containing trial by trial organized data.
            EVENTS            Among others fields, the events are also stored here. EVENTS is a structure with the fields LABLES, the name if the occuring event, and TIMES, the time in seconds after the start of the trial when the event is occuring.
    c3d                     To be removed, here for debug.
    LinkedTask              Handle to related Task
    LinkedSubject           Handle to the Subject performing the task
    PausesIndex             If pauses are granted, the trial index immediatly after them goes here
    Hand                    Left or Right
    LateralDeviation        A measure of error trial by trial
