[New Format]: Older MountainSort MDA sortings file format #1202

@rly

Description

@rly

What format would you like to see added to NeuroConv?

Older versions of MountainSort (versions 4 and earlier, I believe) generated a firings.mda file that contains channel indices, spike times, and unit ids.

SpikeInterface can read this. It would be nice if NeuroConv could also support this.

Does the format have any documentation?

https://mountainsort.readthedocs.io/en/latest/first_sort.html#format-of-the-firings-mda

Existing APIs for format

See spikeinterface sorting extractor

Do you have any example files you are willing to share?

I can ask the lab that i am working with, but given how popular mountainsort is/was, I am surprised to not see it here: https://gin.g-node.org/NeuralEnsemble/ephy_testing_data. Maybe it is under a different folder?

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes.
