Library for the numerical analysis of spike train similarity
PySpike is a Python library for the numerical analysis of spike train similarity. Its core functionality is the implementation of the ISI-distance[1] and SPIKE-distance[2], SPIKE-Synchronization [3], as well as their adaptive generalizations[4]. It provides functions to compute multivariate profiles, distance matrices, as well as averaging and general spike train processing. All computation intensive parts are implemented in C via Cython to reach a competitive performance (factor 100-200 over plain Python). PySpike provides the same fundamental functionality as the SPIKY framework for Matlab, which additionally contains spike-train generators, more spike train distance measures and many visualization routines.
