Quick Start Guide

The easiest way to get started with using imaging+ is to follow Tutorial 1 - Getting started with data. This tutorial demonstrates how to setup a new experiment inside imaging+ for data processing and analysis.

To get started with plotting and data exploration, check out Tutorial 3 - Making useful plots.

Key Structures

There are two core data objects for storing experimental data:

  1. Experiment - built from constituent ImagingTrial objects, and represents the overall experiment.

  2. ImagingTrial - a calcium imaging trial at a single field of view.

And, there 3 sub-core data types to handle multi-modal data within each imaging trial:

  1. ImagingData - live imaging data

  2. TemporalData - 1D time series data temporally synchronized to live imaging data

  3. CellAnnotations - Annotations and cellular/ROI segmentations of the live imaging tissue sample

A more detailed overview of these modules and other key structures of imaging+ can be found at Core structures.

An overview of all primary modules of imaging+ can be found at Main Modules.
