Importing Data from Matlab

This guide explains how to transfer data from Matlab to NeuroExplorer.

You can create spike trains (1 x N or N x 1 matrices with timestamps in seconds) or continuous variables in Matlab and transfer them to NeuroExplorer on the fly. Here is how to do this:

• Select File | New menu command.

• Select Matlab | Get Data From Matlab | Open Matlab As Engine menu command. NeuroExplorer will open Matlab as an engine.

Note

When you run Open Matlab as Engine menu command, a new instance of Matlab is opened. This instance will have no variables in its workspace. Therefore, you need to create (or load from a file) the data you want to transfer to NeuroExplorer.

After your data is available in Matlab, select one of the Matlab | Get Data From Matlab menu commands to transfer the data to NeuroExplorer.
