dcl_stats_n_plots

An interactive widget to compute statistics and plot your data

This repository is part of the DCLwidgets series. These repositories are dedicated to foster the joint development of tools and resources by the Defense Circuits Lab. The intended use of each tool may vary greatly from very lab- and/or analysis-specific problems, to tools and resources that may be of use also for other researchers. The common goal for each repository, however, is to provide the tool as an interactive, userfriendly, and intuitive GUI so that the user needs little to no coding expertise.

List of all repositories of the DCLwidgets series:

• dcl_stats_n_plots: A widget to compute statistics and plot the data with several options to customize the plot
• DCL_to_NWB: A widget to convert datasets acquired in the DCL into the NWB file format
• BSc_MS: A widget to annotate the corners of a maze within video files and save the corresponding x- and y-coordinates
