Dear all,

Apologies for the cross posts.

Pierre Yger will present SpikeInterface at the next open INCF/OCNS
Software Working Group (WG) session on May 14 at 1500 UTC. There will be
a Q&A session after the presentation, followed by WG business.

Much development has been directed toward improving the performance and
automation of spike sorting. This continuous development, while
essential, has contributed to an over-saturation of new, incompatible
tools that hinders rigorous benchmarking and complicates reproducible
analysis. To address these limitations, we developed SpikeInterface, a
Python framework designed to unify preexisting spike sorting
technologies into a single codebase and to facilitate straightforward
comparison and adoption of different approaches. With a few lines of
code, researchers can reproducibly run, compare, and benchmark most
modern spike sorting algorithms; pre-process, post-process, and
visualize extracellular datasets; validate, curate, and export sorting
outputs; and more. In this paper, we provide an overview of
SpikeInterface and, with applications to real and simulated datasets,
demonstrate how it can be utilized to reduce the burden of manual
curation and to more comprehensively benchmark automated spike sorters.
