SpikeInterface stands on the shoulders of giants! Each method in SpikeInterface draws on (or directly runs) independently-created methods. Please try to reference the individual works that are important for your analysis pipeline. If you notice a missing reference, please let us know by submitting an issue on Github.

Preprocessing Module

If you use one of the following preprocessing methods, please cite the appropriate source:

  • phase_shift or highpass_spatial_filter [IBL]

  • detect_bad_channels(method='coherence+psd') [IBL]

  • common_reference [Rolston]

Motion Correction

If you use the correct_motion method in the preprocessing module, please cite [Garcia] as well as the references that correspond to the preset you used:

Sorters Module

If you use one of the following spike sorting algorithms (i.e. you use the run_sorter() method, please include the appropriate citation for the sorter_name parameter you use: Note: unless otherwise stated, the reference given is to be used for all versions of the sorter

Qualitymetrics Module

If you use the qualitymetrics module, i.e. you use the analyzer.compute() or compute_quality_metrics() methods, please include the citations for the metric_names that were particularly important for your research:
