PRO:

• Adjusted REM data read to deal with corrupted samples at the end of feature vector files that occur when a recording is unexpectedly stopped (power loss, PC restart, etc.)
• Environmental Sensor
  • New option to assign environmental sensors to PiezoSleep recorded channels within the File Menu
    • Allows channels to utilize separate Environmental Sensors when using the “ Use Light Sensor Times” setting in Light/Dark Onset Times.

4.1.5.1

03.01.223

Big Fixes/Improvements

PRO:

• Adjusted how the “Use Light Sensor Data” for Light/Dark Onset Times handles Thresholds for light and dark.

4.1.5

02.17.2023

Bug Fixes/Improvements

ALL VERSIONS:

• Environmental Sensor:
  • Now properly handles having multiple sensors
    • Decision Stat Plot: there is an additional drop-down menu to select which environmental sensor is overlaid.
    • Exporting Environmental Sensor Stats will export for all environmental sensors with the selected data.
    • Exporting Environmental Sensor Data exports for each environmental sensor selected in the options panel with the selected data.

PRO:

• Environmental Sensor:
  • Can now adjust Threshold for light and dark, as well as the minimum length for a light or dark onset period.
  • The automatic light and dark detection will use whichever environmental sensor is selected for the Sleep/Wake Decision Statistic overlay.
• Adjusted 3-state Bout Histogram plot and exports to correctly select the active state in SleepStats.
• Activity Exports and Actogram
  • Exports “0” instead of “NaN” to intervals without any activity.
  • Removed normalization method from export header, no normalization is used in this export.
  • Fixed issue where plotting the actogram would cause a crash on very short files.
  • Fixed bug in activity stats export causing stats to be calculated incorrectly.

4.1.4

01.19.2023

Bug Fixes/Improvements

All VERSIONS:

• Fixed issue causing the CSV export menu to not have all options when opening a new file after a file had been opened.

BASE:

• Fixed issue causing a crash on startup.

PRO:

• Updated 3-State bout detection algorithm to be more robust.
• CSV Export Drop-Down Menu now correctly removes all REM options when opening files with no REM data.

4.1.3

01.04.2023

Bug Fixes/Improvements

• Adjusted minimum light level in lux from 15 to 50 when using the environmental sensor to detect day and night periods.
• Adjusted alignment of Decision Statistic with superimposed sensor data.

4.1.2

12.30.2022

Bug Fixes/Improvements

ALL VERSIONS:

• Added ability to set bounds on breath-rate estimation export
• Added dialog that warns users when exporting large amounts of breath-rate estimation and decision statistic data (threshold for this warning is more than 24hrs of data).

BASE UPDATES:

• Fixed an issue where the Activity – ClockLabs export would appear in Base versions, the option would not be able to export anything as Activity files are not opened.

4.1.1

12.14.2022

Bug Fixes/Improvements

• Fixed an issue where the last interval of a few exports wasn’t being exported when the interval endpoint was the same as the export end time.

4.1.0

11.07.2022

New Features:

• Added Segmented Wake-nREM-REM Bout Stats exports. (Same as Segmented Bout Stats, but for 3-state statistics; Renamed Segmented Bout Stats to Segmented Sleep-Wake Bout Stats for clarity).

• Combines the functionality of both the rat and mouse versions of SleepStats 2.x8, as well as adding compatibility with future versions of PiezoSleep.
• Allows for data collected from an environmental sensor to be overlaid on the plots, and the light data can be used to determine light and dark onset times automatically.
  • Also allows for export of environmental sensor data and statistics.
• New or updated exports:
  • Sleep-Wake decision statistic export.
  • Percent sleep or wake segmented by light and dark
  • Time stamped sleep bouts.
