spikeinterface 0.9.9

Python toolkit for analysis, visualization, and comparison of spike sorting output

SpikeInterface

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

spikeinterface is a meta-package that wraps 5 other Python packages from the SpikeInterface team:

• spikeextractors: Data file I/O and probe handling.
• spiketoolkit: Toolkit for pre-processing, post-processing, validation, and automatic curation.
• spikesorters: Python wrappers to spike sorting algorithms.
• spikecomparison: Comparison of spike sorting output (with and without ground-truth).
• spikewidgets: Data visualization widgets.

On October 8, 2019, we have released the very first beta version of spikeinterface (0.9.1)

Please have a look at the preprint that describes in detail this project

Installation

You can install SpikeInterface from pip:

pip install spikeinterface

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install from sources the development version:

git clone https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface.git
cd spikeinterface
python setup.py develop

Important: installing with python setup.py develop DOES NOT install the latest version of the different modules. In order to get the latest updates, clone the above-mentioned repositories and install them from source.
