Add ElecFeX to analysis tools

[rly]

ElecFeX is a MATLAB-based Electrophysiological Feature eXtraction toolkit for current-clamp recordings. The graphical user interface (GUI) of ElecFeX was designed to analyze electrophysiological recordings in an intuitive and efficient way so as to be accessible to everyone no matter their level of expertise.

Documentation: https://github.com/XinyueMa-neuro/ElecFeX Paper: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.27.542584v1 Install via MATLAB Apps interface or from https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/130144-elecfex

It looks like current clamp data in NWB can be read. However, I could not run ElecFeX on MATLAB Online or MATLAB installed locally to test this out. See https://github.com/XinyueMa-neuro/ElecFeX/issues/1

Their paper has been published and Xinyue presented at Neurodata Showcase 2024 https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-methods/fulltext/S2667-2375(24)00143-7

@XinyueMa-neuro the NWB team would like to add ElecFeX to our catalog of community analysis and visualization tools that support the NWB data standard: nwb-overview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/analysis_tools_home.html

Could you provide 1-3 sentences describing ElecFeX for us to put on the catalog? You can see the catalog link above for examples. We would also add the logo and links to the Docs, Source Code, and Preprint. Let us know if there is anything else you would like us to include. Thank you!

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for considering including ElecFeX to NWB website, here is the description: "ElecFeX is a MATLAB-based toolbox for extracting electrical features, i.e., spike train properties and single spike properties, from current-clamp recordings. It has a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows electrophysiologists to perform batch analysis on large single-cell electrophysiological datasets without being expert programmers. ElecFeX supports commonly-used electrophysiological data formats including ABF, IBW, NWB, and DAT.“ Let me know if more information is required.

Thanks, Xinyue
