In order to interface with the LFADS software, a matlab class must be created that
takes a input data format (such as .mat) and outputs a instance of firing rates and other
data from the trial in order to run the software and create the latent factor analysis instance.
The LFADS software includes an example synthetic dataset and an example class that reads that dataset.
The code for the matlab instance for the batista lab is given based off this program.
Just clone this repository into some place like a directory called +CNBCPipeline or for a specific
experiment, +NelsonHandExperiment. From there, the run method should be modified to referenece the
experiment's specific datasets.
Just run ./install on a linux machine. After installation make sure to source the bash profile by running:
source ~/.bashrc
