From clinical epilepsy monitoring to brain-computer interfaces, these modalities generate rich time-series data that require sophisticated processing pipelines. While commercial packages like Curry and BrainVision Analyzer offer polished interfaces, the open-source neuroimaging ecosystem provides tools with greater flexibility, reproducibility, and no licensing costs.</p> https://www.pistack.xyz/posts/2026-06-10-self-hosted-neural-spike-sorting-spikeinterface-kilosort-phy/ Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.pistack.xyz/posts/2026-06-10-self-hosted-neural-spike-sorting-spikeinterface-kilosort-phy/ <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2> <p>Understanding how the brain processes information requires recording the activity of individual neurons. Modern high-density neural probes like Neuropixels can simultaneously record from hundreds to thousands of neurons, producing terabytes of raw electrophysiology data per experiment. The computational challenge lies in <strong>spike sorting</strong> — the process of separating the combined electrical signals into spike trains belonging to individual neurons.</p>
