Overview

About

Maintained by Vikram B. BaligaFirst published 2021-05-065 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Tools to import, clean, and visualize movement data, particularly from motion capture systems such as Optitrack's 'Motive', the Straw Lab's 'Flydra', or from other sources. We provide functions to remove artifacts, standardize tunnel position and tunnel axes, select a region of interest, isolate specific trajectories, fill gaps in trajectory data, and calculate 3D and per-axis velocity. For experiments of visual guidance, we also provide functions that use subject position to estimate perception of visual stimuli.
