First, my program asks the user to provide some information about the data it is analyzing: the type of session (diagnostic or therapeutic), the assumed scalp-cortex distance (more on that later), and the tolerated distance from the target site in mm. The user is then prompted to navigate to the patient folder generated by Localite's neuronavigation system. Once this has been selected, my program outputs the average distance from the target, the standard deviation of this distance, the total number of applied stimuli, total number of accurate stimuli (within the tolerated range), and the percent accuracy of stimulation. Along with this info, the following figures are generated:

Week 3 - Charlie Heinke
This week I made major progress in my project. Using Python, I succeeded in producing an easy-to-use program for assessing the precision of transcranial magnetic stimulation. While this calculation has been achieved before with other neuronavigation software, the system used by my mentor, Localite, does not include this capability.
First, my program asks the user to provide some information about the data it is analyzing: the type of session (diagnostic or therapeutic), the assumed scalp-cortex distance (more on that later), and the tolerated distance from the target site in mm. The user is then prompted to navigate to the patient folder generated by Localite's neuronavigation system. Once this has been selected, my program outputs the average distance from the target, the standard deviation of this distance, the total number of applied stimuli, total number of accurate stimuli (within the tolerated range), and the percent accuracy of stimulation. Along with this info, the following figures are generated:
Now that this system is established, I am going to compare my method of analyzing precision with an open-source program I found on the internet. This program cannot directly use the data generated by Localite's system because this program only takes coordinates in text format, while the data from Localite is contained in .xml files. On Monday I will edit my code to output stimuli coordinates into a format compatible with this other program and see how it compares.
