Quick Start

import bombcell as bc

# Set up parameters
param = bc.get_default_parameters("path/to/kilosort_output")

# Run quality metrics
quality_metrics, param, unit_type, unit_type_string = bc.run_bombcell(
    "path/to/kilosort_output", 
    "path/to/bombcell_output", 
    param
)

# Launch GUI for manual inspection
gui = bc.unit_quality_gui(
    ks_dir="path/to/kilosort_output",
    quality_metrics=quality_metrics,
    unit_types=unit_type,
    param=param,
    save_path="path/to/bombcell_output"
)

Features

• Automated quality control for spike-sorted data
