Glossary
ADAMACS
Architectures for Data Management and Computational Support, the DataJoint-centered pipeline ecosystem used in the lab.
DataJoint schema
Logical table namespace (for example subject, imaging, model, mocap).
Session
A recording unit identified by a unique session_id.
Scan
A recording sub-unit linked to a session, identified by scan_id.
*Task table
Manual/staging table indicating that downstream computed processing should be run.
Worker
Background process that continuously calls populate(..., reserve_jobs=True) on selected tables.
Reserve jobs
DataJoint mechanism to avoid duplicate compute across concurrent workers.
Blob store
Filesystem-backed large-object storage used for large payloads instead of direct DB inline storage.
Curation
Manual/algorithmic quality-control state for extracted imaging components.
paramset_idx
Processing parameter set identifier used in imaging processing workflows.
curation_id
Version key identifying curation iteration.
PyRAT
Animal metadata source system queried for subject/genotype metadata staging.
RSpace
Electronic lab notebook service used optionally for ingest-linked document creation.
CASCADE
Ground-truth-calibrated spike inference integration path in imaging activity workflows.
DLC
DeepLabCut model workflows for video-based pose tracking.
Worker-owned population
Population step that should usually be run by dedicated server worker accounts rather than personal user accounts.
Legacy monorepo
Original adamacs repository before ingest/analysis split.
Split repos
Current recommended working repos:
