From 9b4e1f5e2ea0054182d5f5468ec123258d93ac01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 17:12:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add ndr.reader.neuropixelsGLX for Neuropixels SpikeGLX AP-band data Implement format functions and reader class for Neuropixels probes acquired with SpikeGLX: Format functions (ndr.format.neuropixelsGLX): - readmeta: Parse .meta key=value files into structs - header: Extract standardized recording parameters (sample rate, channel counts, gains, voltage range, channel subsets) - read: Read interleaved int16 binary data with time/channel subsetting - samples2volts: Convert raw int16 to voltage using per-channel gains Reader class (ndr.reader.neuropixelsGLX): - Handles one probe's AP stream per instance (.ap.bin + .ap.meta) - Neural channels as analog_in (ai1..aiN), sync as digital_in (di1) - Returns raw int16 for efficient storage; use samples2volts for voltage - Supports channel subsets (fewer than 384 channels saved) - Registered in ndr_reader_types.json as neuropixelsGLX/neuropixels/spikeglx/imec Tests: - matlab.unittest parameterized tests (384, 32, 8 channel configs) - Legacy-style test function matching existing NDR test conventions - Synthetic data generation with known values for verification Documentation: - NeuropixelsGLX_format.md covering file layout, naming conventions, binary format, metadata fields, voltage conversion, and design decisions https://claude.ai/code/session_01RMRXufEXExJQUhrnsgrtP2 --- .../+neuropixelsGLX/NeuropixelsGLX_format.md | 149 +++++++ +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/header.m | 184 +++++++++ +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/read.m | 135 +++++++ +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/readmeta.m | 76 ++++ +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/samples2volts.m | 95 +++++ +ndr/+reader/neuropixelsGLX.m | 299 ++++++++++++++ +ndr/+test/+reader/+neuropixelsGLX/test.m | 115 ++++++ resource/ndr_reader_types.json | 4 + .../+unittest/+reader/TestNeuropixelsGLX.m | 378 ++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 1435 insertions(+) create mode 100644 +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/NeuropixelsGLX_format.md create mode 100644 +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/header.m create mode 100644 +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/read.m create mode 100644 +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/readmeta.m create mode 100644 +ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/samples2volts.m create mode 100644 +ndr/+reader/neuropixelsGLX.m create mode 100644 +ndr/+test/+reader/+neuropixelsGLX/test.m create mode 100644 tools/tests/+ndr/+unittest/+reader/TestNeuropixelsGLX.m diff --git a/+ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/NeuropixelsGLX_format.md b/+ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/NeuropixelsGLX_format.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e38c737 --- /dev/null +++ b/+ndr/+format/+neuropixelsGLX/NeuropixelsGLX_format.md @@ -0,0 +1,149 @@ +# Neuropixels SpikeGLX Format — NDR Design Document + +## Overview + +This document describes the NDR support for Neuropixels data acquired with +[SpikeGLX](https://billkarsh.github.io/SpikeGLX/), the open-source acquisition +software for Neuropixels probes developed by Bill Karsh at the Allen Institute. + +## File Organization + +SpikeGLX saves data in a directory structure organized by run name, gate index, +and trigger index.
