Sufficient indexes and examples are available here to understand the data. The bulk of the data is on five CDs (0-4) that can be borrowed through interlibrary loan (UCLA Biomedical Library, WL102.5, W912r 2003) and copied. (See 04DataCDs.xls for that index.) There is also an analysis program that averages histograms of spike activity and concurrent electromyographic (EMG) activity obtained from the orbicularis oculi (eyeblink) and levator oris (nose twitch) muscles. This, too, is available here. Each recording contains the response to a 70 dB click (produced by applying a 1 ms rectangular pulse to a loudspeaker) before or after conditioning blink responses to the click as a CS. A discriminative acoustic stimulus, a 70 dB hiss DS, was also presented at a time apart from the click. There are guides to the regions... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7sc6k27t Fri, 12 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000 Woody, Charles D.
