title: 'PyView: A general purpose tool for analyzing calcium imaging data'
description: "Welcome to the archived version of the repository containing PyView, the python implementation of View!\n\nPyView is a general purpose tool to analyze calcium imaging data of responses to sensory stimuli.\n\nIt provides a powerful GUI to interactively visualize, analyse and assess the quality of imaging stacks; and flexibly select steps and parameters for removing artifacts and for estimating neural activity levels. The GUI is based on the core functions and classes of PyView that can be used for identical batch processing, i.e. running all experimental measurements through the processing steps selected above using one single set of parameters to produce time traces, 2D images or 3D movies\n"
