Hi! Has there been development into converting .pl2 files into nwb without dependencies from Plexon's Python SDK (e.g., dll files), especially for Apple Silicon users? Thanks in advance for your help.
@khussein7 Last known work was from https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/python-neo/issues/1124 leading to https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/python-neo/pull/1214 which has not been released officially yet but could be used from a dev branch
If there are issues specific to Apple Silicon using our PlexonInterface here on NeuroConv applied to a .pl2
file, with that dev mode of neo master branch installed in the environment, I'd say chime in on the original issue https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/python-neo/issues/1124 to see if that's even something that could be supported given the technological nature of the DLL reader over there
I'm going to reopen this for the pl2 datatype, which was just requested during the Conversion Workshop
Looks like we just need to route to the other recording extractor for pl2: https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface/blob/17ee78552ddff147e1aaefcac70364c4a8520d99/src/spikeinterface/extractors/tests/test_neoextractors.py#L356
@h-mayorquin , can you look into this?
I took a first stab at this. There are some error in windows that I found here: https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface/pull/2937
I will sit on my windows machine and work on this later this week.
@h-mayorquin we have another request for pl2. Would it be possible to build a data interface for this? What are the issues with Windows?
Some errors: https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/python-neo/issues/1349
Plus, some that I got in the CI on spikeinterface.
Another problem at the base:
https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/python-neo/issues/1366
Would be good to get some data for this case @bendichter
OK, I have reproduced the windows error here in the CI.
This is good.
For Mac, I will first try to set the right environment variable but we might also need to change the logic to access the ddl on neo:
Let's try.
What would you like to see added to NeuroConv?
We should add support for Plexon data types. Plexon writes data to .plx and .pl2 and offline sorters write data to .ddt and .nex.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
No response
Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?
No.
