A Python package to handle the layout, geometry, and wiring of silicon probes for extracellular electrophysiology experiments.

Goals

ProbeInterface aims to provide a common framework to handle probe information across neuroscience experiments.

ProbeInterface is used by the SpikeInterface package to attach probe information to a recording object. You can find detailed documentation in the SpikeInterface documentation.

In practice, ProbeInterface is a lightweight package to handle:

  • probe contact geometry (both 2D and 3D layouts)
  • probe shape (contour of the probe, shape of channel contacts, etc.)
  • probe wiring to a device (the physical layout often doesn't match the channel ordering)
  • combining several probes into a device, with probe groups and a global wiring
  • exporting probe data into a common JSON file format
  • loading existing probe geometry files (Cambridge Neurotech, NeuroNexus, etc.) from the probeinterface_library

In addition, ProbeInterface also offers the following features:

  • matplotlib-based plotting functions
  • loading/saving probes using common formats (PRB, CSV, NWB, ...)
  • correctly handling SI units (um, mm)
