Spatial Delayed Alternation Videos Donated by Tim Allen

Video Content & Behavior Details:

Species: Domestic pig (mixed breed)          Sex of Animal: Female                 Number of Animals in Video: 1

Description of Behavior:Spatial Delayed Alternation (random intervals of 5s, 30s, 60s, and 120s between trials). https://allenlab.fiu.edu/a-pig-model-for-behavioral-neuroscience/

Additional Information: Four color cameras simultaneously recorded for maze coverage, bird’s eye, supplied by Plexon. They four cameras were centered above the following area (Start, Center, Left Arm, Right Arm). 

During the behavioral session, the task hardware integrates MATLAB and CineLyzer, so the .mat file combines the data with an AltData matrix in the workspace. The .mat file can be found here and the xls file can be found here. The AltData_Headings character array can be used to decode the columns.
