Scheduled service maintenance on November 22


On Friday, November 22, 2024, between 06:00 CET and 18:00 CET, GIN services will undergo planned maintenance. Extended service interruptions should be expected. We will try to keep downtimes to a minimum, but recommend that users avoid critical tasks, large data uploads, or DOI requests during this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

  2. Neo
  3. ===
  4. Neo is a Python package for working with electrophysiology data in Python, together
  5. with support for reading a wide range of neurophysiology file formats, including
  6. Spike2, NeuroExplorer, AlphaOmega, Axon, Blackrock, Plexon, Tdt, and support for
  7. writing to a subset of these formats plus non-proprietary formats including HDF5.
  8. The goal of Neo is to improve interoperability between Python tools for
  9. analyzing, visualizing and generating electrophysiology data by providing a common,
  10. shared object model. In order to be as lightweight a dependency as possible,
  11. Neo is deliberately limited to represention of data, with no functions for data
  12. analysis or visualization.
  13. Neo is used by a number of other software tools, including OpenElectrophy_
  14. and SpykeViewer_ (data analysis and visualization), Elephant_ (data analysis),
  15. the G-node_ suite (databasing) and PyNN_ (simulations).
  16. Neo implements a hierarchical data model well adapted to intracellular and
  17. extracellular electrophysiology and EEG data with support for multi-electrodes
  18. (for example tetrodes). Neo's data objects build on the quantities package,
  19. which in turn builds on NumPy by adding support for physical dimensions. Thus
  20. Neo objects behave just like normal NumPy arrays, but with additional metadata,
  21. checks for dimensional consistency and automatic unit conversion.
  22. A project with similar aims but for neuroimaging file formats is `NiBabel`_.
