Dec 1, 2024December 2024 — ibs-lab/cedalion: Delivered two major features that enhance data quality, testing, and research reproducibility, with tangible business value for downstream analysis and product validation. Key features delivered: - Wavelet-based Motion Correction: Added a pywt-based motion correction method to the signal processing module, incorporating IQR-based artifact correction. Included an updated example notebook demonstrating usage of the new wavelet correction technique. (Commit: 82f9108c4d4a151be370a1395a2199980681b9e8) - Synthetic Event Data Generator: Introduced a utility module for generating synthetic event data, producing DataFrames of events with onsets, durations, values, trial types and channels. Supports random and alternating trial type strategies with controls for event density and inter-event intervals. (Commit: feb8609a2b951dd191bb8890bda6811d1e7d1210) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved data quality and reliability for downstream signal processing and analyses through robust motion correction. - Expanded testing, development, and validation capabilities by providing ready-to-use synthetic data for method evaluation and model testing. - Strengthened reproducibility with clear usage examples and modular utilities that can be extended in future work.
