Describe the Issue
The epilepsy probability and interichtal events plot currently only uses the first 5 minutes of the motion corrected movie for its calculations. This should be run for the whole movie. Additionally the failure threshold is currently if the epilepsy probability metric is above 0%, but instead of failing the session, this actually triggers qcers (and usually a manager/scientist as well) to review the 2p movie and behavior movie to determine whether or not there was actual epileptic activity.
This process seems subjective and up for interpretation. Two additional questions arise: are we worried about aberrant brain activity or animal health? Depending on our concerns we might have different approaches to what causes data or a mouse to fail.
Clearer guidance is needed.
Expected behavior
Scope
Interichtal events are usually related to a few specific cre lines but this is really run on every experiment and has a broad scope.
Additional context
In the future we should also investigate whether the presence of transient laser/scanner noise (issue #1 )on the Mesoscope impacts the probability calculation.
There could also be issues with the lowered frame rate per FOV on the mesoscope impacting this calculation.
