Project Description

Add support for SiNAPS probes (via probeinterface), data formats (partially done with *.bin and *.h5 extractors for SiNAPS).
Potentially: check drift and drift correction for these probes.

Background

SiNAPS probes are high-channel count, active electrodes, similar to other silicon active probes available and popular today (E.g., NeuroPixels)¹. They are currently not supported by Spikeinterface, but we started developing data extractors for the probe.

Objectives

• Add support for SiNAPS data formats
• Add support for SiNAPS research probes
• Add tools for addressing SiNAPS-specific issues (e.g. amplification artefacts)
• Bad channel detection
• Drift correction

Approach and Plan

• Test the extractors
• Test probeinterface probes and add to spikeinterface
• Discuss SiNAPS-specific amplification artefacts and approaches to masking them out for SI
• Analyse drift and drift correction on these large probes?
