Getting Started¶
If you installed neurotic into a conda environment, first activate it:
conda activate <environment name>
Launch the standalone app from the command line:
neurotic
A simple example is provided. Select the “example dataset”, download the associated data (~7 MB), and then click “Launch”. See User Interface for help with navigation.
Disabling “Fast loading” before launch will enable additional features including amplitude-threshold spike detection and signal filtering.
The command line interface accepts arguments as well:
usage: neurotic [-h] [-V] [--no-lazy] [--thick-traces]
[--theme {light,dark,original}]
[file] [dataset]
neurotic lets you curate, visualize, and annotate your behavioral ephys data.
positional arguments:

file)
dataset the name of a dataset in the metadata file to select
initially (default: the first entry in the metadata

optional arguments:

-V, --version show program's version number and exit
