__init__(task: TaskBase | None = None) → None

Methods

Attributes

TASK_NAME: str = ''

PARAMS: list[AutonomouseParam] = []

start() → None

stop() → None

inject_positions() → None

Hacky: (I did not want to modify cam_box code to support this) Replaces cam_box position (x, y) lists with AutoNoMouse positions. Called when AutoNoMouse stops, just before cam_box.stop_recording(), so cam_box.save_csv() picks them up and records them.

property running: bool

property injecting: bool

stop_inject() → None

update_params(**kwargs) → None

Update param attributes on a running instance.

Override in subclass. Append one mock trial row directly to session_df.

inject_trials(n: int, interval: float = 1.0, **kwargs) → None

poke(port: int, duration: float = 0.1) → None

Simulate a nose-poke in and out on port.

set_position(x: float, y: float) → None

Update the virtual animal’s position and trace.
