Live plot of state matrix and event progress

[ogeesan]

Work in progress branch with a live updating plot showing progress of state matrix. Similar to BpodSystem.SoftCodeHandlerFunction, BpodSystem.StateHandlerFunction enables the byte-read loop to run arbitrary code. Hooking into this with an object that accesses the same information used to update the Console's state and event readout allows a live plot of trial progress to be created.

To test it out, in the protocol setup:

lu = LiveStatePlot(BpodSystem);
lu.settings.defaultMaxTime = 10; % set the starting window width as 10 seconds
BpodSystem.StateHandlerFunction = @lu.update;

The key change is that some of RunStateMachine internal variables (e.g. event codes and timings) have been exposed in BpodSystem.Status for access during the trial.

• Modify RunStateMachine to call a function handle when checking for state machine codes.
• Modify TrialManagerObject
• Create live state plot
• Create live event plot
  • Configurable focus events (there are like 100 possible events for a state machine)
  • Lick lines
• Create trial outcome/state entry notifier plugin
• Test performance and optimise
• Test on physical state machine
• Create unit tests
  • Testing of new functions and classes
  • Create new protocol run testing
