A PyQt GUI to quickly visualize ABF electrophysiology files

Project description

ABF Explorer

ABF_Explorer is a simple graphical application for quickly viewing axon binary format (ABF) files from electrophysiology experiments without writing a bunch of boilerplate python/matlab/etc. This graphical tool allows you to quickly scroll through files, read the basic metadata, and take a look at the data.

ABF_Explorer UI

We use the excellent pyABF package (https://github.com/swharden/pyABF) by Scott W Harden to do the hard work of parsing ABF files.

Use

This is a graphical application for inspecting physiology data in ABF files. ABF Explorer supports Python > 3.7.

Install

pip install abf_explorer

Launch GUI

abf_explorer

Command line options

-d or --startup-dir specify path to a directory containing ABF files.

Use:

abf_explorer -d path/to/abfs

Keyboard shorcuts

  • c will clear the current plot

Sample data

Sample data (abf's) can be downloaded from this repository.
