Summary of User's Issues and Requests

The user has requested the addition of a PSTH (Peri-Stimulus Time Histogram) similarity metric for quality assurance in the blech_clust repository. The task involves using the ephys_data.py file to get firing rates, averaging them for each taste to generate PSTHs, and then calculating the Pearson correlation of concatenated PSTHs for all tastes. Additionally, the user has requested the introduction of a threshold for PSTH similarity, plotting of both raw and thresholded similarity matrices, and adding warnings to the unit similarity output file.

Overview of Plan to Address the Issues

  1. Compute PSTHs: Implement a method in ephys_data.py to compute PSTHs by averaging firing rates for each taste.
  2. Calculate PSTH Similarity: Implement a function in unit_similarity.py to calculate the Pearson correlation of concatenated PSTHs.
  3. Add Threshold and Plotting: Introduce a threshold for PSTH similarity and plot both the raw and thresholded similarity matrices.
  4. Warnings: Add warnings to the unit similarity output file when thresholds are exceeded.

Specific Details of Changes to be Made

  1. Compute PSTHs in ephys_data.py:

    • File: /home/exouser/Desktop/blech_github_bot/repos/katzlabbrandeis/blech_clust/utils/ephys_data/ephys_data.py
    • Line: After line 862
    • Description: Add a method to compute PSTHs by averaging firing rates for each taste.
    • Code Snippet:
      def compute_psths(self):
          """
          Compute PSTHs by averaging firing rates for each taste.
          """
          if 'firing_list' not in dir(self):
              self.get_firing_rates()
          
          self.psths = [np.mean(firing, axis=0) for firing in self.firing_list]
  2. Add PSTH Similarity Metric in unit_similarity.py:

    • File: /home/exouser/Desktop/blech_github_bot/repos/katzlabbrandeis/blech_clust/utils/qa_utils/unit_similarity.py
    • Line: After line 102
    • Description: Implement a function to calculate the Pearson correlation of concatenated PSTHs.
    • Code Snippet:
      def psth_similarity(psths, threshold):
          """
          Calculate the Pearson correlation of concatenated PSTHs for all tastes.
          
          Args:
              psths: List of PSTHs for each taste.
              threshold: Threshold for similarity.
          
          Returns:
              similarity_matrix: A matrix of Pearson correlation coefficients.
              thresholded_matrix: A matrix with values above the threshold.
          """
          concatenated_psths = np.concatenate(psths, axis=1)
          similarity_matrix = np.corrcoef(concatenated_psths)
          thresholded_matrix = np.where(similarity_matrix > threshold, similarity_matrix, np.nan)
          return similarity_matrix, thresholded_matrix
  3. Integrate PSTH Similarity Calculation and Plotting:

    • File: /home/exouser/Desktop/blech_github_bot/repos/katzlabbrandeis/blech_clust/utils/qa_utils/unit_similarity.py
    • Line: Inside the main execution block (after line 245)
    • Description: Integrate the PSTH similarity calculation into the main execution flow and plot the results.
    • Code Snippet:
      # Assuming `data` is an instance of `ephys_data`
      data.compute_psths()
      psth_similarity_matrix, thresholded_matrix = psth_similarity(data.psths, similarity_cutoff)
      
      # Plotting
      fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 5))
      im1 = ax1.matshow(psth_similarity_matrix, cmap='viridis')
      plt.colorbar(im1, ax=ax1)
      ax1.set_title('Raw PSTH Similarity Matrix')
      
      im2 = ax2.matshow(thresholded_matrix, cmap='hot')
      plt.colorbar(im2, ax=ax2)
      ax2.set_title(f'Thresholded PSTH Similarity Matrix (>{similarity_cutoff})')
      
      plt.tight_layout()
      plt.savefig(os.path.join(output_dir, 'psth_similarity_matrix.png'))
      plt.close()
      
      # Warnings
      if np.any(thresholded_matrix > similarity_cutoff):
          with open(warnings_file_path, 'a') as f:
              print('PSTH similarity threshold exceeded.', file=f)

These changes will implement the requested PSTH similarity metric for quality assurance, leveraging existing functionalities in the repository, and address the additional feedback regarding thresholds, plotting, and warnings.

These changes will resolve the undefined name errors by ensuring that the data object is properly initialized, the parse_collision_mat function is   
correctly imported, and p_val_threshold is defined.

Commit e86a50b fix: resolve undefined names for data and p_val_threshold in scripts

To fix the error, we need to import the ephys_data class in unit_similarity.py. Here is the necessary change:
