G4 software and GUIs

The G4 GUIs are designed to be user-friendly and allow for the generation of patterns, position functions, and experiment designs without needing to write code.

G4_pattern_generator_gui — Generate patterns. See the tutorial.
G4_function_generator_gui — Generate position functions. See the tutorial.
G4_experiment_designer — Design experiments. Learn more.
G4_experiment_conductor — Run experiments. See the getting started guide.

Where are the GUIs used?

For running Protocol 1 of the Nested RF Protocol and designing bar stimuli used in the electrophysiology experiments.
For running the TAFC bar fixation task on the tethered flight setup.

LED Display documentation

The LED Display Tools documentation contains detailed information on the different versions of the LED arenas, the GUIs for generating patterns and running protocols, and the MATLAB functions for interacting with the LED arenas.

G3 user guide — historical information about running experiments on the G3 and G4 arenas, especially tethered flight experiments. Explains the panel_com class of functions.
G4 documentation — detailed information on the G4 setups and the GUIs for generating patterns and running protocols.
