Neuropixels Data Analysis

Overview

Toolkit for analyzing Neuropixels high-density neural recordings using current best practices from SpikeInterface, the Allen Institute, and the International Brain Laboratory (IBL). It covers the full workflow from raw data to reviewed, curated units. Targets SpikeInterface 0.105.0, ProbeInterface 0.4.0 and Neo 0.14.5 (reviewed 2026-10-01). Synthetic tests cover recording contracts, preprocessing, analyzers, metrics and exports; real acquisition files, native sorters, GPU execution and pretrained models remain illustrative.

All examples use the real SpikeInterface API (spikeinterface.full as si) plus the companion curation module (spikeinterface.curation as sc). The skill ships runnable scripts in scripts/ and a copy-and-edit template in assets/ that implement this workflow directly on top of SpikeInterface — there is no separate package to install beyond the dependencies listed under Installation.
