v6.1.1

• New features
  • pspm_bf_psrf_2_fc
    • pspm_bf_psrf_2_fc allows to set the time delay between CS and US now. It used to set a basis function for the CS and for the US response with a time delay of 3.5 s as standard.
  • pspm_dcm
    • Missing data epochs from file and data can be combined.
  • pspm_glm
    • pspm_glm now allows a two-element vector and construct the dictionary accordingly. Previously it only allows scalar values in model.window.
• New functions
  • pspm_check_model
    • The function checks the fields of models.
  • pspm_combine_markerchannels
    • The function allows users to use the GLM option markervalues to create onsets definition from channels distributed across multiple channels.
  • pspm_tam
    • TAM stands for Trial Average Model. The function allows to fit models on trial-averaged data.
• Adjustments
  • pspm_pupil_pp
    • From then on, pupil preprocessing functions create channels of type pupil rather than pupil_pp.
  • pspm_split_sessions
    • Markers at beginning or end of file are no longer dropped, as marker duplication is not an issue here.
• Bug fixes
  • pspm_con
    • A bug caused by the new varargout logic of pspm_load1 has been fixed.
  • pspm_dcm
    • A bug that leads dropping sub-threshold missing data periods has been fixed.
  • pspm_get_spike
    • A minor bug caused by a non-existing variable has been fixed.
  • pspm_scr_pp
    • A bug that could change the original file if it saves epochs to missing_epoch.mat has been fixed.
• Improvements
  • pspm_extract_segments
    • Now pspm_extract_segments process the data after excluding the missing data information that is provided in the model structure.
  • pspm_dcm
    • Processed data are now initialised as data matrix with NaN before inserting data of variable size.
  • pspm_glm
    • A warning has been added if any duration in onset definition is above 0 and modality is not sps.
  • pspm_overwrite
    • The logic of overwriting files in PsPM has been updated. Specifically, the overwriting operation is applicable only if there has been a file with the proposed name of the output file. A warning will be provided if the user chooses not to overwrite the file, since the output of PsPM will not be saved.
  • pspm_split_sessions
    • A misleading warning provided by pspm_split_sessions when it processes a missing epoch file has been fixed.
    • The help text of split_sessions in the GUI has been updated.
• UI improvements
  • PsPM's UI in Linux environment has been improved.
