Code and data used to simulate tactile responses to steps in "Modelling foot sole cutaneous afferents (FootSim)" (Katic et al. (2023), iScience, 105874-105874)
The code used within this mini-repository builds upon that in FootSim (https://github.com/ActiveTouchLab/footsim-python) to simulate tactile responses to walking
The data used within this simulations is part of a larger project, titled "Complexity of spatiotemporal plantar pressure patterns during everyday behaviours" (Cleland et al., in prep., preprint available at https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.27.525870). Further data and code related to this project can be found at https://osf.io/n9f8w/. To generate the files in preprocessed_data, the pipeline run within https://osf.io/n9f8w/ will need to be run.
To run this code, you will need to have FootSim installed and a virtual environment set up. Instructions on how to do this can be found at https://github.com/ActiveTouchLab/footsim-python. All dependencies are included within the main FootSim package.
/data- raw data files/processed_data- processed data that can be loaded in to generate only the figures/code- the code used to generate figures/insole.py- code used to map raw data onto the foot/spatial_plots.py- code used to generate and save spatial plots of Stimulus and Response objects onto the foot/population_and_plots.py- code used to generate and save population responses across the entire foot and specific regions as a lineplotfunctions.py- plotting functions
/figures- figures generated using the code
