gphys

This R package provides relatively specialised routines for analysing electrophysiological data determined by the research in our lab using whole cell patch clamp techniques to analyse olfactory processing in the fly. Nevertheless it is possible that others, especially anyone using Jason Rothman's Neuromatic data analysis and acquisition package for Igor Pro, may find some functionality useful. It can also be used to reproduce some of the analysis / figures in our published work e.g. in the package frulhns.

For further details see the R DESCRIPTION file.

Installation

Currently there isn't a released version on CRAN.You can use the devtools package to install either the latest release or development version:

# install devtools if required
install.packages("devtools")

library(devtools)
# latest release (recommended)
install_github("jefferis/gphys")

# develop branch may occasionally have changes that have not been merged to master
install_github("jefferis/gphys@develop")

Note: Windows users need Rtools and devtools to install this way.

Acknowledgements

This tool naturally depends on a number of other R packages including my own package IgorR. However the most sophisticated and domain-specific dependency is the STAR package of Christophe Pouzat – this offers a great deal of exciting functionality that we hope to use in future.
