Spike inference with GCaMP8: new pretrained models available

Calcium imaging is only an indirect readout of neuronal activity via fluorescence signals. To estimate the true underlying firing rates of these neurons, methods for “spike inference” have been developed. They are useful to denoise calcium imaging data and make … Continue reading
