spykesim is a Python module that offers functions for measuring the similarity between two segmented multi-neuronal spiking activities.

Extended edit similarity measurement is implemented. You can find details in the following paper.

This library is re-implementation of the algorithm. The original implementation can be found in [this repo](https://github.com/KeitaW/Chaldea).

# Supported Operating Systems This library tested on Ubuntu and MacOS.

For Windows users: Please consider to use Ubuntu via [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10).

# Installation If you do not have Python3.7 on your environment, you may use [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/).
