Had a fantastic time at the @spikeinterface workshop hosted by @InfAtEd earlier this week! Tons of useful info about state-of-the-art methods in the arcane art of spike sorting ⚡️ Here's @buccino_alessio from @AllenInstitute hammering home the most sobering point of the week...

It's been a great pleasure to present @spikeinterface and recent updates in #ephys analysis at #ODIN23 at @mitbrainandcog! Lots of amazing neurotech and tools for data processing, modeling, and sharing to bring neuroscience to the next level! Thanks @neurovium for the invitation!

Now accepted in @IOPPublishing Journal of #Neural #Engineering ! Check out the accepted version here: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
Do you use #neuropixels or #highdensity probes? Are your recordings filling up your hard drives? We got you covered! In the first preprint from @AllenInstitute for Neural Dynamics, we looked at ways to reduce the footprint of #ephys data. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/n)

Replying to @spikeinterface
@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 @MatthiasHennig6 @buccino_alessio @cole_hurwitz

A very exciting new feature is the motion correction framework to compensate for drifts! Check out this tutorial for more info: spikeinterface.readthedocs.i…

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)

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.i… Feedback is very welcome! #spikesorting #ephys #neurotwitter

Question for folks who read in vivo ephys papers: what quality control standards would benefit the field? Do you worry about unit isolation, stability/drift, epileptiform activity, noise levels? Large scale recordings are now common but not sure we have agreed on standards.
