pyfim.analysis.peristalsis_frequency

pyfim.analysis.peristalsis_frequency(exp)

Calculates the peristalsis frequency [Hz] for each object. This analysis is based on MatLab code by Dimitri Berh (University of Muenster, Germany).

Parameters:exp (pyfim.Experiment) – Experiment holding the raw data.

Notes

This function determines the number of peristalses by performing peak detection of the object’s area in its go-phases. You can finetune this behaviour using the following parameters in the config file:

• MIN_GO_PHASE: minimum length of the go phases
• MIN_PEAK_DIST: minimal distance in frames between peristalses

Returns:Mean peristalsis frequencies [Hz] Return type:pandas.DataFrame
