Main usage

The main idea is to make visible one or several units and visually inspect if they should be merged or removed. For this visibility:

  • ctrl + double click on a unit in probeview

  • check the box visible in the unitlist

  • double click on one unit in unitlist unit visible alone

  • move one of the roi in the probeview

Views can be reorganized by moving docks by clicking in the title bar of a docks. Any dock (view) can be closed. And can be put back with right click in any title bar of any dock.

Every view has a ? button which opens the contextual help. These inplace docs are the most important stuff to be read. (but they contain typos)

When some units are visible, the related spike list can be refresh. Then selecting spike per spike can also refresh some views. This enables a very quick and convenient spike per spike jump on traces.

Channel visibility can be handled with one of the roi in the probeview.

Shortcuts: many shortcuts are available, please read the ? button in each view. There’s one secret shortcut: ctrl+f (or cmd+f on mac), for “focus mode”. Try it out!

Curation mode

By default this tool is a viewer only. But you can turn it into a tool for manual curation using the curation=True option. This tool supports the curation format from spikeinterface. This format enables to:

  1. remove units

  2. merge units

  3. split units

  4. create manual labels

When this mode is activated a new view is added on top left to maintain the list of removal and merges. The curation format can be exported to json.
