ibl-neuropixel

Collection of tools to handle Neuropixel 1.0 and 2.0 data (documentation coming soon...)

Installation

Minimum Python version supported is 3.10 pip install ibl-neuropixel

Destriping

Getting started

This relies on a fast fourier transform external library: pip install pyfftw.

Minimal working example to destripe a neuropixel binary file.

from pathlib import Path
from ibldsp.voltage import decompress_destripe_cbin
sr_file = Path('/datadisk/Data/spike_sorting/pykilosort_tests/imec_385_100s.ap.bin')
out_file = Path('/datadisk/scratch/imec_385_100s.ap.bin')

decompress_destripe_cbin(sr_file=sr_file, output_file=out_file, nprocesses=8)

Viewer

The best way to look at the results is to use viewephys, open an ephys viewer on the raw data.

• tick the destripe box.
• move to a desired location in the file
• ctr+P will make the gain and axis the same on both windows

You can then move within the raw data file.
