This Python package contains functions to get photometry data from a Tucker-Davis Technology (TDT) photomerty system and calculate dFF using methods developed by Martianova and colleagues. For more information on the analysis method, you can visit Martianova, E., Aronson, S., Proulx, C.D. Multi-Fiber Photometry to Record Neural Activity in Freely Moving Animal.. J. Vis. Exp. (152), e60278, doi: 10.3791/60278 (2019).. Implementation details and other language implementations (R, Matlab) are archived in the publication’s repository

Features

This package reads TDT data from the directory of the block (e.g., photometry_dir)

  • Use photo_data = phototdt.get_tdt_data(photometry_dir) to read and obtain a DataFrame photometry data.

  • Use phototdt.tdt_to_csv.tdt_to_csv(photometry_dir) to convert block to a csv file and calculate zdFF on the 465 channel.

  • Use phototdt.get_cam_timestamps(photometry_dir) to read camera timestamps from block.
