Circadian analysis

At the Gilestro lab we work on sleep and often need to do a lot of circadian analysis to complement our sleep analysis. So we’ve got a dedicated suite of behavpy methods to analyse and plot circadian rhythms. For the best run through of this please use the circadian tutorial, a rendered Jupyter notebook.

Section titled “In this section”
  • Circadian methods and plots: Plot grouped and tiled actograms and compute anticipation scores to describe the circadian rhythm of each group.
  • Periodograms: Compute chi-squared, Lomb-Scargle, Fourier and Welch periodograms and wavelets, then plot and quantify rhythmicity per animal and per group.
