Epiphyte is a domain-specific relational database designed for analyzing spiking and field potential data recorded during movie presentations.
At its core, Epiphyte is a worked solution for organizing movie annotations and neural data using DataJoint and MinIO.
We provide an open-source framework for building and remotely deploying a database structured specifically for working with naturalistic and continuous stimuli and neural recordings. As a worked example, we provide a module for generating a mock dataset and a configured database structure for the generated dataset to allow for users to immediately try out the framework.
We provide detailed tutorials in the Docs for:
- launching a MySQL database locally or on a virtual machine,
- attaching an optional storage backend,
- installing and configuring the framework,
- designing and populating a database for analyzing a generated movie dataset,
- extending database access to other users,
- as well as analyzing data and running regular backups.
