2022-11_brainhack_DetecSpikMotifs: Automatic detection of spiking motifs in neurobiological data. This project aims to develop a method for the automated detection of repeating spiking motifs, possibly noisy, in ongoing activity.
The Visual Coding – Neuropixels project uses high-density extracellular electrophysiology (Ecephys) probes to record spikes from a wide variety of regions in the mouse brain. Our experiments are designed to study the activity of the visual cortex and thalamus in the context of passive visual stimulation, but these data can be used to address a wide variety of topics.
Spike-sorted data and metadata are available via the AllenSDK as Neurodata Without Borders files. However, if you’re using the AllenSDK to interact with the data, no knowledge of the NWB data format is required.
