FISSA

FISSA (Fast Image Signal Separation Analysis) is a Python library for decontaminating somatic signals from two-photon calcium imaging data. It can read images in tiff format and ROIs in zips as exported by ImageJ; or operate with numpy arrays directly, which can be produced by importing files stored in other formats.

For details of the algorithm, please see our companion paper published in Scientific Reports.

FISSA is compatible with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+. Using Python 3 is strongly encouraged, as Python 2 will no longer be maintained starting January 2020.

FISSA has been tested on Ubuntu 17.04 and on Windows Windows 10 with the Anaconda distribution.

Documentation, including the full API, is available online at https://fissa.readthedocs.io.

If you encounter a specific problem please open a new issue. For general discussion and help with installation or setup, please see the Gitter chat.

Usage

A general tutorial on the use of FISSA can be found at: https://rochefort-lab.github.io/fissa/examples/Basic%20usage.html

An example workflow with another Python toolbox (SIMA): https://rochefort-lab.github.io/fissa/examples/SIMA%20example.html

An example workflow importing data exported from a MATLAB toolbox (cNMF): https://rochefort-lab.github.io/fissa/examples/cNMF%20example.html

These notebooks can also be run on your own machine. To do so, you will need to download a copy of the repository, unzip it and browse to the examples directory. Then, start up a jupyter notebook server to run our notebooks. If you’re new to jupyter notebooks, an approachable tutorial can be found at https://www.datacamp.com/community/tutorials/tutorial-jupyter-notebook.

Installation

Installation on Windows

Basic prerequisites

Download and install, in the following order:

Installing FISSA

Open Anaconda Prompt.exe, which can be found through the Windows start menu or search, and type or copy-paste (by right clicking) the following:

conda install -c conda-forge shapely tifffile

Then, install FISSA by running the command

pip install fissa

To test if FISSA has been installed, enter the command

python

to go into the Python environment. Then type

import fissa

If no errors show up, FISSA is now installed. You can leave Python by typing exit().

If you want to use the interactive plotting from the notebooks, you should also install the HoloViews plotting toolbox, as follows

conda install -c ioam holoviews

See usage above for details on how to use FISSA.

Installation on Linux

Before installing FISSA, you will need to make sure you have all of its dependencies (and the dependencies of its dependencies) installed.

Here we will outline how to do all of these steps, assuming you already have both Python and pip installed. It is highly likely that your Linux distribution ships with these.

Dependencies of dependencies

These packages can be installed on Debian/Ubuntu with the following shell commands.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gfortran libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev libatlas-dev libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
Installing FISSA

For normal usage of FISSA, you can install the latest release version on PyPI using pip:

pip install fissa

To also install fissa along with the dependencies required to run our sample notebooks (which include plots rendered with holoviews) you should run the following command:

pip install fissa['plotting']

Afterwards, you can test to see if FISSA is install by running the command

python

to start an interactive python session. Then run

import fissa

at the python command prompt.

If no errors show up, FISSA is now installed. You can leave the interactive python session with the exit() command, or CTRL+D.

Folder Structure

continuous_integration/

Contains files necessary for deploying tests on continuous integration servers. Users should ignore this directory.

examples/

Contains example code. You can load the notebooks as .ipynb directly in GitHub, or on your system if you know how to use jupyter notebooks.

examples/exampleData/

Contains example data. It a zipfile with region of interests from ImageJ. It also contains three tiff stacks, which have been downsampled and cropped from full data from the Rochefort lab.

fissa/

Contains the toolbox.

fissa/tests/

Contains tests for the toolbox, which are run to ensure it will work as expected.
