Welcome to the bombcell 💣 wiki!

Bombcell is a powerful toolbox designed to evaluate the quality of recorded units and extract essential electrophysiological properties. It is specifically tailored for units recorded with Neuropixel probes (3A, 1.0, and 2.0) using SpikeGLX or OpenEphys and spike-sorted with Kilosort.

Please note that Bombcell is currently unpublished (manuscript under preparation). If you find Bombcell useful in your work, we kindly request that you cite:
