Introduction

The manipulation model describes temporal manipulations performed in a dataset. Manipulations are ways to perturb the natural brain dynamics. The types of manipulations that are currently supported by BrainSTEM are listed further down the page. A Manipulation is described by the fields in the next section.

Type detailsThere are also a number of type specific fields. See options below

Types of manipulations

These are the available Type options for manipulations:

  • Electromagnetic field stimulation
  • Electrical stimulation
  • Liquid perturbation
  • Micro perfusion
  • Optogenetical stimulation
  • Pharmacological inhalation
  • Pharmacological injection
  • Pharmacological superfusion

A detailed list of the type-specific fields, can be found in the manipulation type page.

Permissions

Manipulation inherit permissions through the dataset associated with it.

Manipulation API access

The API allows for programmable access to manipulations. Learn more about the manipulations’ fields and data structure on the Manipulation API page.
