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

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.
  • export report and export toPhy
  • offer a powerful Qt-based viewer in separate package spikeinterface-gui <https://https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface-gui>_
  • have some powerful sorting components to build your own sorter.

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

You can also have a look at the spikeinterface-gui.

Versions

spikeinterface version 0.90 > 0.93:

  • breaks backward compatibility with 0.10/0.11/0.12/0.13 series.
  • has been first released in July 2021 (0.90.0)
  • is not a meta-package anymore
  • it doesn't depend on spikeextractors/spiketoolkit/spikesorters/spikecomparison/spikewidgets anymore

To install the old spikeinterface API (version<0.90), you can use pip and point to the old version:

pip install spikeinterface==0.13

We strongly recommend using the new version.
