Source code for the Detection of Ultrasonic Vocalizations (USVs) in XBAT: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- XBAT is the intellectual product of Cornell University, as described below. Code related to the detection of ultrasonic vocalizations was developed by Dr. David J. Barker and Christopher Hererra at Rutgers University under the direction of Dr. Mark O. West. In this version, these files have been integrated into the XBAT open-source software in the Extensions\Detectors and Extensions\Actions directories. As with XBAT, these files are open source and intended for free public use. Details regarding the development of the detector can be found within our published work: Barker DJ, Herrera C, West MO (In Press). Automated Detection of 50-kHz Ultrasonic Vocalizations Using Template Matching in XBAT. Journal of Neuroscience Methods. We are currently in the process of developing other documentation in order to help new users become familiar with the software. Please check back for updates. Also visit www.rci.rutgers.edu/~markwest/ for updates. XBAT PREVIEW (REVISION 7) ------------------------- 01-Nov-2006 ABOUT ----- XBAT is an extensible sound analysis application and MATLAB platform for developing sound analysis tools. It is open-source, licensed under the GPL. For more information about XBAT and any of the following topics visit the project website - http://xbat.org REQUIREMENTS ------------ This preview release has been developed and tested on Windows XP with MATLAB 7 and later. We plan eventually to support other platforms for which MATLAB is available. XBAT makes extensive use of MATLAB MEX extensions. This release does not include precompiled binaries of MEX extensions for platforms other than Windows. The source is there, for the more adventurous, and we are available for help. We currently rely on the signal-processing toolbox for a number of the signal filtering extensions. Overall, we have tried to reduce dependencies, in particular for the XBAT Core which depends solely on MATLAB. GETTING STARTED --------------- Installing and getting started with XBAT is easy. If you downloaded the latest stable release from the XBAT website, you need only to: 1. Unzip the XBAT .zip file into a directory (folder) of your choosing 2. Start MATLAB. 3. Set your working directory to the folder you unzipped XBAT to. 4. Run xbat.m by typing 'xbat' on the command-line. (If you are using Subversion to get the latest development version, the only difference is step 1, you have no need to unzip.) On running the command 'xbat' you will see a splash screen that animates and tells you something about the startup process and then the 'XBAT' palette will open up when startup is done. The MATLAB path will be modified to contain all the required directories, and non-toolbox elements of the path will be moved to the end of the path to make sure XBAT works properly, if this happens a warning will be issued. FIRST STEPS, LEARNING, AND GETTING HELP --------------------------------------- After startup the 'XBAT' palette becomes the initial focus of attention. You can make sounds available to XBAT by adding them to a library. You can add a single sound file using the 'Add File ...' button in the 'Sounds' panel. You can add a directory of sounds, including all its children, using the 'Add Folder ...' button. XBAT treats directories containing a collection of 'compatible' sound files (same channels, samplerate, and format) as a single sound, the files are ordered alphabetically. The added sounds show up in the 'Sounds' list display. You can open a sound from this list by double-clicking it on the list, or by using the 'Open ...' command in the right-click triggered context-menu. The sound browser is a typical focus of attention when working with XBAT. Exploration is your best strategy in learning to use the sound browser. Don't worry about your files, XBAT does not modify sound files in any way. To explore the capabilities of the sound browser look around the various menus. Through the menus you can then open then open various control palettes. Browser related control palettes are available from the 'Window' menu in the browser. Palettes controlling various extensions are available from the 'Filter' and 'Detect' menus. As before, more information about XBAT please visit the project website - http://xbat.org
