title: Feed Archive

description: The Feeding Experiments End-User Database (FEED) was designed by the Mammalian Feeding Apparatus Working Group supported by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). See Additional Notes for information on (1) accessing the source code for the FEEDv2.0.3 database, and (2) accessing the ontologies (MFMO and OPBO).

The data are archived here.  The raw data are in .dat files, and the metadata pertaining to a specific numbered trial are in .csv format.  All raw data and metadata are available for re-use.  The .csv files named with the convention "trial_####_channels" contain metadata pertaining to an individual trial.  The complete list of trials available for download, including relevant metadata for analyzing the in vivo data, are in the file "FEED_Archive_Master_Trials.csv".  Raw data and metadata uploaded here are from FEEDv2 (2008-2018).

FEED design and development funded by NSF-ABI-1062333 (CEW) and NSF-EF-0423641.  NSF-EF0423641 funded the National Evolution Synthesis Center (NESCent) at Duke University (Principal Investigator: K. K. Smith).

description: CREDITS
Concept and scientific requirements: Early work to convene a group of anatomists and physiologists to design and implement FEED began in 2006. The NESCent Working Group on Analysis and Synthesis of Physiologic Data from the Mammalian Feeding Apparatus is led by Christine E. Wall (Duke University), Robert E. Druzinsky (University of Illinois at Chicago), Rebecca Z. German (Northeast Ohio Medical University), Christopher J. Vinyard (Northeast Ohio Medical University), Susan H. Williams (Ohio University)
Anatomy and Behavior Ontologies:
The Mammalian Feeding Muscle Ontology (MFMO) was developed by a group of anatomists and ontologists in a 2012 Ontology Workshop funded by NSF-DBI-1062333. The contributors to the MFMO were A. W. Crompton (Harvard University), Robert E. Druzinsky (University of Illinois at Chicago), Rebecca Z. German (Northeast Ohio Medical University), Melissa A. Haendel (Oregon Health & Science University), Anthony Herrel (CNRS Paris), Susan W. Herring (University of Washington), Hilmar Lapp (NESCent), Paula Mabee (University of South Dakota), Christopher J. Mungall (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), Christopher J. Vinyard (Northeast Ohio Medical University), Christine E. Wall (Duke University), and Susan H. Williams (University of Ohio, Athens).
The Oro/Pharyngeal Behavior Ontology was developed by the Mammalian Feeding Working Group.
The Phenotype Research Coordination Network supported our work in developing the ontologies.
Both ontologies can be accessed at https://code.google.com/p/feedontology/
Database and application programming: FEED v1 was developed by Vladimir Gapeyev (NESCent), Hilmar Lapp (NESCent), Xianhua Liu (NESCent). FEED v2 was developed by Squishymedia, Inc. (Portland, OR), Hilmar Lapp (NESCent), and Christine Wall (Duke).
