This R script was developed to “translate” movement log files from a navigation task (path integration) experiment into so-called 'event tables'. These event tables summarize the recorded movements and can be used for further analyses, for example, to synchronize movement logs with brain activity.
The script processes all CSV log files in a specified folder, classifies movement types, groups consecutive events, calculates onset, duration, and angles, and generates both individual and combined master event tables. Sample data are provided to test the script, though path adjustments are required. For more information, see the ReadMe file.
Generates configurable path integration (PI) patterns for Virtual Reality (VR) navigation experiments with RStudio. Creates 4-point configurations (Spawn→Start→Distractor→Goal→back to Start) optimized for maximum path length while respecting geometric constraints.
The script was developed out of the need for rapid randomized generation of path integration patterns that can be easily adapted to the respective experimental conditions.
In addition to the actual RStudio script, the package also contains an accompanying ReadMe file, sample input data, and the corresponding output files.
Visualizes participant navigation trajectories from Virtual Reality (VR) path integration (PI) experiments, showing target locations, traversed paths, orientation arrows, and drop error distances in RStudio.
The script was developed to check whether participants performed the task correctly or whether other problems occurred during a trial (e.g., path integration marker was not deactivated correctly). Such trials were successfully excluded from further data analysis using the visualization script.
In addition to the actual RStudio script, the package also includes an accompanying ReadMe file, sample input data, and the corresponding output visualizations.
