Search Strategy analysis and more for spatial navigation data in rodents
We have updated Pathfinder in order to be more robust, easy to use, and more versatile. These updates include a new View Pane on the main window which visualizes the user-defined parameters. This allows users to quickly see what they are changing in order to more accurately set desired classification limits. We have also added a ‘Define Software’ feature which allows users to import data that we have not explicitly implemented support for. Pathfinder now accepts data from any output as long as the .csv or .xlsx output contains columns for the x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and time. Finally, we have added a relaxed focal search parameter, semi-focal search. This, like all previous parameters, is an optional Search Strategy for Pathfinder to classify trials into. Updates to Pathfinder are available on our GitHub https://github.com/MatthewBCooke/Pathfinder, where you can download the most up-to-date version of the software.
