THALis: experiment-folder and conversion map

folder rename ≠ new experiment, keep the mapping. also check what WebM → MP4 does to timestamps / frame count, don't quietly lose the original timing

  • folder changes (4585bf7, 723d039): rhythmic February 22 runs become feb22lt_rhythmic/run1, run2, run3; sustained runs are grouped under feb22lt_sustained/. Earlier December folders gain _classification suffixes.
  • conversion (acc7fd0): convert_web_2_mp4.py batch-converts browser WebM recordings with FFmpeg. electrode_stencil.py and sortCSV.py move into src/tools/.
  • reference principle: the folder name should identify paradigm/session, while a trial manifest identifies exact files. A rename is not a new experiment and video conversion is not new data collection.
  • review questions: is frame timing preserved during conversion, and is the original retained? Do cue/landmark filenames still resolve after the move? Compare files by trial identifier rather than alphabetical order. The archive calls the folder operation a pure reorganization, so no scientific improvement is inferred from it.
