Description

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone has any cute tricks as far as trying to use Phy to cure data that has been clustered across multiple sessions. For example, is there an easy way to add some metadata such that waveforms, clusters, etc. from session1 (defined by spike timestamp, e.g.) are displayed in a different color than the data from session2? I'm looking at the customization section of the docs and considering writing a widget for this, but before I dive in I was wondering if there are easy existing ways to use phy for this purpose.

what would be great is if we could have two windows, similar to clusters and similar clusters, which corresponded to either two separately sorted datasets, or that corresponded to two separate time spans of a single sorted dataset.

thanks!
Amy

Research direction

Start with the customization section of the phy documentation and investigate whether metadata can distinguish waveforms and clusters from separate sessions or time spans. Compare the requested two-window behavior for separately sorted datasets and for one dataset before deciding on a concrete scope; done would mean a defined, documented way to display or compare those groups.
