Event definitions for Fear Conditioning experiments =================================================== Fear conditioning experiments involve **conditioned stimuli (CS)** and **unconditioned aversive stimuli (US)** events. CS that are reinforced by a following US trial are typically referred to as **CS+** while CS that are not reinforced are typically referred to as **CS-**. Every event in the experiment **MUST** follow this naming pattern: ```` Where: - `event_type` is either ``CS`` or ``US`` - `ID` is a numeric identifier for the stimulus. - `polarity` is: - ``p`` for positive/reinforced (CS+) - ``m`` for negative/non-reinforced (CS-) For example, in an experiment with one CS+, one CS-, and one US, the valid event names would be: ``CS1p, CS2m, US`` An example ``events.tsv`` file would look like this .. code-block:: text onset duration event_type stimulus_name task_name 0.0 0.0 block_start n/a habituation 10.0 8.0 CS1m diamond habituation 25.0 8.0 CS2p square habituation 40.0 8.0 CS1m diamond habituation 50.0 0.0 block_end n/a habituation 53.0 0.0 block_start n/a acquisition 55.0 8.0 CS2p square acquisition 62.5 0.5 US shock acquisition 70.0 8.0 CS1m diamond acquisition . . .
