Python package to handle probe layout, geometry and wiring to device.

Documentation : https://probeinterface.readthedocs.io/

Goal

Make a ligthweigted package usefull that handle:

• probe geometry (2d, 3d electrode layout)
• probe shape (contour of the probe, shape of channel contact, ...)
• probe wiring to device (channel are not in order generaly)
• combinaison of several probe : global geometry + global wiring
• propose a new format based on JSON
• handle a collection of existing probe (neuronexus, imec, cambridge neurotech...) Started here

Bonus :

• optional ploting with matplotlib include
• load/save from/into several possible formats (PRB format, csv format, NWB format , ...)
• handle SI correctly um/mm/...

Target users/projet :

• spikeinterface team : integrate this into spikeextractor for channel location
• neo team : handle array_annotations for AnalogSignal
• spikeforest team : use this package for ploting probe activity
• phy team: integrate for probe display
• spyking-circus team : handle probe with this package
• kilosort team : handle probe with this package
• tridesclous team : handle probe with this package
