danse™
-
danse™ is a neuroscience data analysis software that provides a simple and intuitive way to examine changes in neural acitivity around behavior events. In particular, users can batch process recordings related to a single experiment and pool data from multiple animals into single plots according to unique experimental designs (group, treatments, trials, etc.), with NO coding required.
danse™ is compatible with both Doric and non-Doric fiber photometry, microscopy and behavior data (video, csv, digital or analog signals). Check the Compatibility tab above for a full list of file formats supported by danse™.
Here is a breakdown of most popular danse™ operations, organized by data-type:
-

- RWD (.csv)
- Neurophotometrics (.csv)
- CUstom Systems (.csv/.xlsx)
Microscopy- Doric Systems (.doric/.tiff)
- Inscopix
- UCLA Miniscope
- 2P microscopes (.tif/.tiff)
- Custom Systems (.ti, .tiff, .mp4, .mpeg, .avi)
