Sorting in the app

The Sorting workspace runs the installed sorters on the active view, or on a part of it, and shows what they found, channel by channel.

Area What it holds
Left The sorter, the part of the recording (start, duration), the probe, the view’s runs
Right The sorter’s parameters, each with its default shown; typed values replace it
Centre The units of the selected channel as cards (waveform mean ± sd, ISI, spikes), their clusters (PC1 · PC2), and the channel table
Bottom The channel’s traces or a raster over the shared timeline

The Sorting workspace: sorter, part of the recording, probe and parameters

  1. Open a recording, and pick the view to sort.
  2. Choose a sorter and a short part of the recording, such as 30 seconds.
  3. Run. Progress shows like the app’s other jobs.
  4. Click a run to show it everywhere. Compare two runs side by side: units, spikes, labels and matched units.

The sorting is linked to the view and saved as a .sorting.zarr.

To sort on a server, open the recording from it (Settings and servers). The run happens there.

Judging and editing units is the Curation workspace’s.
