Version Notes
[DATE]: Version [#]
- Adjusted the After reward pause from 5s to 10s
- Reasoning is explained at the end of the SOP, but was based on fibre photometry recordings that demonstrated mice needed more time to baseline
- Included an additional formula for more data we can analyze: Premature Responses
- Added another method to run the stimulus duration probe
- Clarified details about the Inter Trial Interval
- Specifically, we made it clearer that the ITI is variable, rather than a constant duration between each trial
