Multivariate classification of multichannel long-term electrophysiology data identifies different sleep stages in fruit flies, Part 8 of 16

Sleep is observed in most animals, which suggests it subserves a fundamental process associated with adaptive biological functions. However, the evidence to directly associate sleep with a specific function is lacking, in part because sleep is not a single process in many animals. In humans and other mammals, different sleep stages have traditionally been identified using electroencephalograms (EEGs), but such an approach is not feasible in different animals such as insects. Here, we perform long-term multichannel local field potential (LFP) recordings in the brains of behaving flies undergoing spontaneous sleep bouts. We developed protocols to allow for consistent spatial recordings of LFPs across multiple flies, allowing us to compare the LFP activity across awake and sleep periods and further compare the same to induced sleep. Using machine learning, we uncover the existence of distinct temporal stages of sleep and explore the associated spatial and spectral features across the fly b..., , , ## Data from: Multivariate classification of multichannel long-term electrophysiology data identifies different sleep stages in fruit flies, Part 8 of 16

## Description of the data and file structure

This is a part of the multi-part dataset containing local field potential (lfp) recordings and video data of 16 `Drosophila melanogaster` flies.
This part contains data from `12_28112018_SponSleep_LFP`

## Dataset contents

Each dataset (after collation for individual fly using software below) consists of a specific spontaneous sleep recording for each fly. For e.g. 12_28112018_SponSleep_LFP contains lfp and video recorded from a particular drosophila on 28-11-2018. Within each folder there are two subfolders.

* lfp: contains two further subfolders:
* folder ending with `_Calib` contains lfp data recorded when calibration (electrode insertion) was performed as a single block.
* folder ending with `_LFP` contains lfp data of the full recording, either as a single block or ...
