Fix access to spike times (SpikeInterface 0.99) #73

Closed bjhardcastle closed 7 months ago

bjhardcastle commented 8 months ago

A recent update to SpikeInterface changed how spike times are stored: https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface/blob/d48e970c24830c0349eeb56d55b1566deb310974/src/spikeinterface/core/sortingfolder.py#L12C39-L12C39

The file name and format changed, affecting these lines:

https://github.com/alleninstitute/npc_sessions/blob/main/src/npc_sessions/utils/spikeinterface.py#L191-L200

https://github.com/alleninstitute/npc_sessions/blob/main/src/npc_sessions/utils/units.py#L169-L172

[ ] add a switch to detect which version is in use, then read accordingly
- OR since we're planning to resort all sessions, we could simply switch to reading the newer format
- OR push for cloud support in SpikeInterface and stop interpreting the files ourselves (there will inevitably be more of these breaking changes in future)
