Claudio Basile<p>I was wondering whether this reasoning, beyond what concerns the general adequacy of ANOVA ( which I would use for simplicity at the moment) is correct or not. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>statistics</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ANOVA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ANOVA</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dataanalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dataanalysis</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>neuroscience</span></a></p>
Claudio Basile<p>From what I understand (but I could be wrong, I&#39;m no expert), using the repeted measures model would not include in the calculation of the error-related variability the between trial variability of the neurons firing rate, which may be useful to include in the sources of error because we would want an effect, if present, to be stable among trials, and that the only real difference would be between different groups, constituted by the single task epochs in this example.</p>
Claudio Basile<p>Lately I’ve been convinced that, maybe, a classical or between groups model could be applied in this case having perhaps more &quot;solid&quot; results. This is despite the fact that I&#39;d want to test the effect of 2 Epochs that occur along the same individual trials on the firing rate recorded on those trials, and this could theoretically lead to choose a repeated measurements model (as if a single &quot;subject&quot; is tested at various moments: T0, T1 and T2).</p>
Claudio Basile<p>The widespread tendency in the place where I work is, in this case, to use repeated measures ANOVA. I have recently had doubts about the motivation of using this model, both for the reasons of the need to control the requirements (which is actually a doubt that I have related to any form of ANOVA applied on neural activity) and the need to use repeated measurements.</p>
Claudio Basile<p>I&#39;ve been trying to evaluate which is the better statistical model to analyze my data: an example of data that I could have to analyze is the firing rate of a neuron recorded in 60 trials belonging to two conditions (30 for the Go and 30 for the NoGo). The point of interest would be, for example, the effect of two different task epochs(appearance of cue and appearance of object) on modulating the firing rate across the two conditions.</p>
Claudio Basile<p>Is anyone in the neuroscience field using kilosort 3 through spike interface available to help me with some issues/questions? I am currently trying to set up a pipeline using SpikeInterface but am running through some issues. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/spikeinterface" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spikeinterface</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kilosort" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kilosort</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/spikesorting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spikesorting</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mountainsort" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mountainsort</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>neuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
