2. the @cortex class

During an experimental run, data collected by CORTEX are written in disk files for off-line analysis. The routines described here let you load these files into Matlab and provide a few elementary analysis tools. Users are expected to build upon these tools depending on specific needs.

A @cortex object is a special kind of Matlab structure created from a standard CORTEX data file, and containing all the behavioral, action-potential, and eye-movement data recorded during the experiment. In order to better understand the use of @cortex objects, it is useful to know something about the structure of CORTEX data files.
