SpikeInterface is a Python framework designed to unify preexisting spike sorting technologies into a single code base.
Please Star the project to support us and Watch to always stay up-to-date!
With SpikeInterface, users can:

read/write many extracellular file formats.
pre-process extracellular recordings.
run many popular, semi-automatic spike sorters (also in Docker/Singularity containers).
post-process sorted datasets.
compare and benchmark spike sorting outputs.
compute quality metrics to validate and curate spike sorting outputs.
visualize recordings and spike sorting outputs in several ways (matplotlib, sortingview, jupyter, ephyviewer)
export a report and/or export to phy
offer a powerful Qt-based viewer in a separate package spikeinterface-gui
have powerful sorting components to build your own sorter.
