The electrophysiology field absolutely needs a consensus on post spike-sorting unit quality metrics definition, transparent documentation, and implementation. We have started with this: spikeinterface.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modu… Feedback is very welcome! #spikesorting #ephys #neurotwitter

Do you use #neuropixels or #highdensity probes? Are your recordings filling up your hard drives? We got you covered! In the first preprint from Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics, we looked at ways to reduce the footprint of #ephys data. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

With the use of #Neuropixels probes (or similar) for 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑜 recordings, it is very common to observe probe "drifts", which strongly degrade spike sorting accuracy. In our recent paper, we looked at several drift correction methods and evaluated their performance! (1/10)

Neuropixels 2.0 probes are now on sale! Multi-shank, miniaturized, higher density than 1.0. To order: neuropixels.org/post/neuropixe… Our paper about the probes: science.org/doi/full/10.11…

SpikeInterface is a #Python module that enables you to preprocess extracellular recordings, run and compare *several* spike sorters, and visualize the results. Also have awesome documentation! #OpenScience #neuroscience Matthias Hennig Alessio Buccino Cole Hurwitz

Now accepted in IOP Publishing Journal of #Neural #Engineering ! Check out the accepted version here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

It's been a great pleasure to present SpikeInterface and recent updates in #ephys analysis at #ODIN23 at MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences! Lots of amazing neurotech and tools for data processing, modeling, and sharing to bring neuroscience to the next level! Thanks Nima Dehghani for the invitation!

Join us and Alessio Buccino SpikeInterface Allen Institute on Nov 7th if you want learn about spike sorting from the experts with a follow-along tutorial covering best-practices for using the expansive SpikeInterface framework. Grab your spot here: eu1.hubs.ly/H0613yy0

#neurotwitter #ephystwitter #spikesorting 📢📢📢📢📢 SpikeInterface v0.99.0 has been released on #PyPi! pypi.org/project/spikei… Just run this to upgrade your installation: >>> pip install --upgrade spikeinterface Check out the release notes here: spikeinterface.readthedocs.io/en/0.99.0/rele…

Happening tomorrow - don't miss out... 🧠⬇️

📢📢📢 #ephys and #spikesorting community! We are thrilled to announce the "Tools and Methods for Next Generation Electrophysiology" event, happening in Edinburgh from May 27-31. Registration link: forms.gle/6dEdeR7sD7u6u8… More info on the event: shorturl.at/oqU48

Had a fantastic time at the SpikeInterface workshop hosted by School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh earlier this week! Tons of useful info about state-of-the-art methods in the arcane art of spike sorting ⚡️ Here's Alessio Buccino from Allen Institute hammering home the most sobering point of the week...
