patchview 0.3.0

Patchview perform data analysis and visualization on whole-cell recording data, including firing pattern analysis, event analysis, synatpic connection detection, morphorlocial analysis and more.

PatchView perform data analysis and visualization on multi channel whole-cell recording (multi-patch) data, including firing pattern analysis, event analysis, synaptic connection detection, morphological analysis and more.

Features

PatchView integrates multiple open-source tools (see credit page) and wrap them using an intuitive graphic user interface (GUI). Thus users can perform most analysis quickly for the data collected in a typical patch-clamp experiment without installing Python and these tools or writing any Python scripts.

• Importing both Heka data and Axon Instruments data. Exporting to Python pickle file or NWB (Neurodata Without Borders) file format.

• Visualizing single and multiple traces with zoom, pan operations.

• Automatically sorting experiments data according to predefined labels.

• Performing analysis on intrinsic membrane properties, action potential detection, firing pattern analysis.

• Synaptic connection analysis.

• Visualizing and quantification of neuron’s morphological reconstruction from Neurolucida
