Guide to bombcell's ephys properties

🚧 Work in progress! This is still under active development 🚧

See the end of the script bombcell_pipeline.m to get started.

Bombcell can compute ephys properties for every unit, namely:

Spike-timing based properties:

• the fano factor
• the maximum and minimum firing rate

ISI-based properties:

• proportion of ISI > 2 s
• isi skewness
• the coefficient of variation
• the coefficient of variation 2

ACG-based properties:

• post spike suppression
• refractory period

Waveform based properties:

• waveform peak to trough duration
• number of peaks and troughs
• waveform's half width
• waveform's peak to trough ratio
• waveform's first peak to trough ratio
• whether a waveform is from a soma or not

Bombcell can then classify striatal and cortical units as in Peters et al., Nature 2021 and Peters et al., Cell Reports 2022.
