lussac 2.0.0rc5

Python package for automatic post-processing and merging of multiple spike-sorting analyses.

Lussac 2.0

You can use the version 1 with git checkout v1

Lussac is an automated and configurable analysis pipeline for post-processing and/or merging multiple spike-sorting analyses. The goal is to improve the yield and quality of data from multielectrode extracellular recordings by comparing the outputs of different spike-sorting algorithms and/or multiple runs with different parameters. For more information, check out our preprint.

Migration from Lussac1

Lussac2 is not backwards-compatible with Lussac1. We advise you to make a new conda environment, and to remake your params.json file (which is also not backwards-compatible).
