:warning::warning::warning: PRs with new features are frozen!: after the 0.100.0 release, we will not accept PRs with new features (only bug fixes) until February 21st 2024.

SpikeInterface is a Python framework designed to unify preexisting spike sorting technologies into a single code base.

Please Star the project to support us and Watch to always stay up-to-date!

With SpikeInterface, users can:

  • read/write many extracellular file formats.
  • pre-process extracellular recordings.
  • run many popular, semi-automatic spike sorters (also in Docker/Singularity containers).
  • post-process sorted datasets.
  • compare and benchmark spike sorting outputs.
  • compute quality metrics to validate and curate spike sorting outputs.
  • visualize recordings and spike sorting outputs in several ways (matplotlib, sortingview, jupyter, ephyviewer)
  • export a report and/or export to phy
  • offer a powerful Qt-based viewer in a separate package spikeinterface-gui
  • have powerful sorting components to build your own sorter.
