Still active?

[Bradley Winters]

Hello everyone.  I am going to be setting up a rig with ScanImage so I was interested in WaveSurfer.  Is this group still active?  I don't see any posts since 2017.  Is there another forum?

Thanks!

I have been wondering the same thing.  The site indicates 1.0 is expected in 2018.  Please let me know what you hear.

Thanks

David

Still Active? It doesn’t get any more active than this! Adam...

Yep, the group is still active. Not a very talkative bunch, however,
I've found. I assume that's because WaveSurfer is so easy to use. ;)

I think a lot of people just e-mail me directly when they have issues.
Maybe I should be moving those discussions over to this forum...

If you look at the GitHub repo, you'll see the last commit was just a
few days ago:

https://github.com/JaneliaSciComp/Wavesurfer

Don't let WaveSurfer being pre-1.0 scare you off: The current version
is 100% usable, and is in active everyday use by people at Janelia and
elsewhere.

Best,
Adam

Thank you for the information and for the excellent software -- I was using it a while back.  I am hoping to get back to physiology soon and look forward to the latest version.

Thanks again,

David

Hi Adam, good to know that things are still humming along.  I have used DataPro in Igor.  Does wavesurfer work similarly?  Also, are there any analysis or stimulus wave building tools built in?  Never used Matlab, but since the scope will be using scanimage I thought I might give it a shot.  I would be doing Ca imaging and ephys combined and I presume it would dovetail nicely.

[Adam Taylor]

Yes, WaveSurfer works similarly to DataPro in many ways.  But I find that writing user functions (actually, user classes in WS) is a lot more pleasant in WS, since Matlab is a much more pleasant programming language than Igor Pro (IMHO).  WS has many built-in functions for doing stimulation, and you can also write arbitrary Matlab expressions and deliver them as stimuli.  WS doesn't have a lot of built-in analysis functions, but it supports the full Matlab language for writing analysis code of your own, and you can take full advantage of any Matlab toolboxes you have a license for.  (IIRC, I don't think DataPro has a lot of built-in analysis functions beyond those provided by Igor Pro.)

Hope this helps,

Adam
