Behaviors

The behavior model is a module in datasets that is used to describe the behavior occuring in a dataset. The behavior is described by the involved subjects, the experimental setup, and a behavioral paradigm. Both the experimental setup and the behavioral paradigm are private attributes and must be defined separately. You must create both before filling in the behavior form. The private attributes belong to group(s) that must be shared with one of a dataset's associated projects.

Two-Part Form

The submission form consists of two parts. In the first part, you must fill in the required fields. Once you click "Create and continue," the behavior entry is created, and you can continue editing it on the second part of the form, which contains all the fields.

Fields

  • Dataset: The project name must be unique across BrainSTEM (required).
  • Subjects: A rich text description of the project (required).
  • Experimental setup: List of related publication IDs formatted as strings (required).
  • Behavioral paradigm: Allows you to add additional fields to the project. The values can be strings or numeric values (required).
  • Description: Determines if the project is publicly available or accessible only through the private portal.

Permissions

A behavior inherits permissions from the dataset associated with it. For more information on permissions, please visit the permissions page.

Behavior API Access

The API allows for programmable access to projects, enabling you to read, edit, and delete projects through the API. For details about the behavior's fields and data structure, refer to the API documentation of the Behavior API endpoint.
