Last week, Pavan Kaushik and I finally got the VR-panel setup working. I placed four flies in the machine, one in each VR cube, and then ran each fly three times with a sequence of 8 different pattern wavelengths, also repeated three times, each one rotated both counter-clockwise and clockwise. This is also the sequence which we will use in the course. This is what the data should look like:

and this is what our data looked like:

Looks to me like we got it working on the first try. Love that data. Great example to compare the course data against.

The code for evaluating the VR-Panel data is on GitHub.

Stichprobengröße pro Gruppe: N = 10

PI: (Pur-Salz)/(Pur+Salz+Neutral)

Stichprobengröße pro Gruppe: N = 10 und bei 0M N = 15

PI:(Pur-Salz)/(Pur+Salz+Neutral)

This is the final graph of the experiments knocking down PKG (foraging) in operant self-learning:

The data have been automatically uploaded via the new script and can be found on the University’s publication server.

This was supposed to be a reproduction of Tina’s experiment:

While in my dataset, the knock-down flies are still performing the worst of all three groups, it is not quite as clear-cut as in Tina’s results. Then again, her knock-down flies maybe were slightly too low. Now pooled with mine that were slightly to high, maybe this is what we should expect: a clear zero. We should pool the data and see how it looks.
