Antelop

Antelop is a complete data processing and management tool for systems neuroscientists.

It allows you to easily adopt modern data engineering infrastructures and efficient data preprocessing pipelines in a simple graphical application. It also provides a host of visualisation tools and a standard library of common analysis functions, as well as a framework for you to write your own fully reproducable analysis functions.

At present, Antelop supports electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and behavioural data.
