Description

As mentioned in the KS (2.5/4) documentation, part of the sorting output prepared for curation is a number of npy files containing templates, similar templates, PC's, ... which are also calculated using a sorting analyzer for a number of metrics.

Could these features somehow be reused, or are they incompatible with sorting analyzer way of working?

Furthermore, what would be the advice when analyzing a recording processed by Kilosort: use the original recording or use the temp_wh.dat file produced by KS which contains already preprocessed (car, whitening, highpass filtered) data?

Research direction

Start with the linked Kilosort export_files documentation and the sorting analyzer's existing metric inputs. Compare the exported npy files with the original recording and Kilosort's temp_wh.dat, then establish whether the features are compatible and which recording should be analyzed. Done means a clear compatibility result and preprocessing recommendation.
