Subthalamic nucleus correlates of force adaptation

Dataset available at: https://data.mrc.ox.ac.uk/data-set/subthalamic-nucleus-correlates-force-adaptation This code analyses behavioural data from a group of 16 Parkinson patients and 15 healthy control participants performing an action adaptation tasks, in which participants need to continuously adapt the applied force based on the feedback they receive. The first feedback ranges from 0 (worst) to 10 (best) points depending on the error between actual force and target force (Value-cue) and the second feedback indicates whether the force had been too low or too high (Direction-feedback). The main behavioural outcomes are measures of force production and force adaptation (folder 1, used for figure 1 in the published article). In patients local field potentials were recorded during the task and corresponding code is stored in folder 2 (figure 2&3). In 14 patients burst deep brain stimulation was applied during a second session. Its effects on behaviour and local field potentials are analysed with code from folder 3 and 4 (figures 4&5). The results have been published in a paper entitled ‘Neural underpinnings of action adaptation in the subthalamic nucleus’ by Herz et al.
