| For this module you will need the ''R016-2012-10-08'' folder (containing data from one recording session), which you can find in the ''\promoted\R016'' folder on the share. Copy this folder onto your own computer. A good place to put it is in something like ''D:\data\promoted\'' (Rxxx indicate different rats, followed by the date of each session). As mentioned, in general you want to keep your data separate from your code; for instance, multiple analysis projects may use the same data, so you don't want to duplicate it. | For this module you will need the ''R016-2012-10-08'' folder (containing data from one recording session), which you can find in the ''\promoted\R016'' folder on the share.
