Database
========

A single redis_ database server is the hub through which the various processes communicate. Each process can write to and read from the database.

 * `Experiment`_
 * `Model`_

_`Experiment`
-------------
- ``experiment:trial``

  - Information related to a runing real-time experiment


- ``experiment:trial:current``

  - A dictionary containing the current trial ``{'start_time': <unix epoch time>, 'end_time': <unix epoch 
  time>, 'index': <integer>}``


- ``experiment:log:<log_name>``

  - A dictionary containing experimental log information


- ``responses:<name>:trial<trial_index>:<sample_index>``

 - A numpy array of responses corresponding to the trial ``trial_index`` and sample ``sample_index`` (sequential from the beginning of the experiment)
