Aeon organisation overview

Aeon is a collaborative effort to perform behavioural neuroscience experiments where the behaviour and neural activity of freely moving animals engaging in a complex task are continuously recorded. This project is contributed to by researchers and support staff at UCL's SWC, Neurogears, and Datajoint.

If you are interested in joining this project, please contact the project maintainers.

Repositories

aeon_mecha

Aeon's main library for interfacing with acquired data. Contains Python modules for raw data file io, data querying, data processing, data qc, database ingestion, and building computational data pipelines. This is the main user repository.

aeon_experiments

Contains experiment workflows written in the Bonsai visual programming language.

aeon_acquisition

Contains the source code for the 'aeon_acquisition' Bonsai package, which is heavily used in workflows in 'aeon_experiments'.

aeon_lineardrive

Contains source code for actuating a linear drive motor used in Aeon experiments (designed primarily for moving electrophysiology cabling during freely-moving experiments).

aeon_feeder

Contains low-level source code for pellet delivery via feeders used in Aeon experiments.

aeon_docs

Contains source code for the Aeon docs site, built via Sphinx.
