Description
Runs the last state matrix that was loaded to Bpod with SendStateMatrix, and returns events, state transitions and timestamps after the matrix reaches the exit state.
This command will block execution until data is returned. Scripts to be run during a trial can be added as SoftCodeHandlers and triggered from the state matrix.
The events returned are in a raw format, and should be subsequently packaged into your session data with the AddTrialEvents function.
Syntax
RawEvents = RunStateMatrix()
Parameters
-None
Returns
A struct with the following fields:
States: a vector listing the integer codes of states visited, in sequential order.
Events: a vector listing the byte codes of events captured.
StateTimestamps: a vector listing the entry times of each state listed in the "States" field (in seconds from matrix start).
EventTimestamps: a vector listing the times of each event listed in the "Events" field (in seconds from matrix start).
TrialStartTimestamp: The time the matrix started (in seconds from session start).
Example
% This code sends "sma" (an existing state matrix) to Bpod, runs it 10 times, and packages the raw events for analysis.
SendStateMatrix(sma);
SessionData = struct;
for i = 1:10
RawEvents = RunStateMatrix;
SessionData = AddTrialEvents(SessionData, RawEvents);
end
