Behavior notes

[weiglszonja]

Behavior data compatibility for example session

Goal: check whether the interfaces in IBL-to-nwb cover the available behavior files for this session.

---

✅ Already supported by existing interfaces

BrainwideMapTrialsInterface covers:

_ibl_trials.choice.npy
_ibl_trials.contrastLeft.npy
_ibl_trials.contrastRight.npy
_ibl_trials.feedbackType.npy
_ibl_trials.feedback_times.npy
_ibl_trials.firstMovement_times.npy
_ibl_trials.goCue_times.npy
_ibl_trials.probabilityLeft.npy
_ibl_trials.response_times.npy
_ibl_trials.rewardVolume.npy
_ibl_trials.stimOff_times.npy
_ibl_trials.stimOn_times.npy

WheelInterface covers:

_ibl_wheel.position.npy
_ibl_wheel.timestamps.npy
_ibl_wheelMoves.intervals.npy
_ibl_wheelMoves.peakAmplitude.npy

---

🚧 Needs modification of existing interface (BrainwideMapTrialsInterface)

The following trial fields exist but are not currently added to the NWB outputs:

_ibl_trials.goCueTrigger_times.npy
_ibl_trials.intervals.npy
_ibl_trials.intervals_bpod.npy
_ibl_trials.laserProbability.npy
_ibl_trials.quiescencePeriod.npy
_ibl_trials.table.pqt

---

❌ Requires NEW interfaces (passive behavior)

No existing interface reads these files:

_ibl_passiveGabor.table.csv
_ibl_passivePeriods.intervalsTable.csv
_ibl_passiveRFM.times.npy
_ibl_passiveStims.table.csv

---

Summary

File group	Status	Required action
Trials (subset)	✅ supported	no action
Wheel	✅ supported	no action
Extra trial fields	🚧 not loaded	extend BrainwideMapTrialsInterface
Passive behavior	❌ not supported	implement new passive interfaces

---

Next steps

1. Adopt existing BrainwideMapTrialsInterface to modified trial fields
2. Implement new interfaces for passive _ibl_passive* files
