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.
