SUMMARY

What it does

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for analyzing Neuropixels extracellular recordings using SpikeInterface. It covers loading data from SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, and NWB formats; preprocessing; drift detection and motion correction; spike sorting with Kilosort4 and CPU alternatives; computing quality metrics; and unit curation via threshold-based, model-based, and AI-assisted methods. It requires Python 3.10+ and SpikeInterface dependencies, and is designed for Neuropixels 1.0 and 2.0 probes.

USE CASES

Tasks it fits

  • Load and preprocess Neuropixels recordings from SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, or NWB formats.
  • Perform spike sorting with Kilosort4 or CPU alternatives and compute quality metrics.
  • Curate units using threshold-based, model-based, or AI-assisted methods.
