## 💾 *hctsa* datasets, and example workflows Sometimes it's easiest to quickly get going when you can follow on to some example code. Here are some repositories that allow you to do just this. There are a range of open datasets with pre-computed *hctsa* features, as well as some examples of *hctsa* workflows. You may also check the [page of publications using *hctsa*](https://time-series-features.gitbook.io/hctsa-manual/information-about-hctsa/publications-using-hctsa)for example publications that have used hctsa—some of these contain associated open code.
Seizure EEG.
An overview tutorial on applying hctsa to a 5-class EEG dataset is in this GitHub repo (including the use of reduced feature set, catch22, within the hctsa framework). There is also a recording of the tutorial (final ~hour is a hands-on demo using this dataset) on YouTube.		Screenshot 2024-05-14 at 11.51.46.png
Worms in a dish.
C. elegans movement speed data and associated analysis code.
You can try your hand at classifying different strains of the nematode worm C. elegans based on their time series of their movement speed. The repository, with links to pre-computed HCTSA.mat files, is here.		gr2.pnghttps://figshare.com/articles/Highly_comparative_time-series_analysis_of_Caenorhabditis_elegans_movement_speed/3863559
Flies in a tube.
Drosophila movement speed and associated analysis code. This repository allows you to skip the process of running an hctsa calculation (you can download pre-computed results), and get straight to following key analyses, including classifying day/night, or male/female.
