Klusters software simplifies the process of sorting extracellular neuronal recordings. This graphical application is user-friendly and equipped with powerful tools to help understand the activity of neurons.
Klusters project is a software that makes spike sorting of extracellular neuronal recordings easy and efficient. This graphical application uses automatic classification algorithms to improve the accuracy and speed of spike sorting. However, it also allows manual examination of the results to ensure that assigned clusters correspond to single neurons. The software has been designed to make this process as fast and error-free as possible.
Klusters boasts several key features that make it stand out. Firstly, it offers multiple views including Cluster View, Waveform View, and Correlation View. These views display spikes in the PCA feature space, auto-and cross-correlograms, and cluster colors, making it easy to quickly identify a cluster. Moreover, the software enables a time trajectory display to identify electrode drift, and has a "Grouping Assistant" to suggest possible overclustering of a single neuron.
Additionally, the "Recluster" feature automatically splits clusters that may be several distinct neurons (underclustering) using an external classification program. Klusters also allows multiple displays to be open at once, useful for examining different subsets of the data in parallel.
The software boasts multiple undo and redo on the last actions, print and export to postscript and pdf, and an ergonomic user interface for maximum speed and reliability.
In the latest release, the source archive klusters-1.4.tar.gz, there was a problem with compilation on certain distributions. However, this has been corrected in the new release. There was also a layout bug that affected both the source archive and the debian package, which has been corrected.
Overall, Klusters is an impressive software that simplifies spike sorting and offers several handy features to make the process more efficient.
