pyNAVIS: an open-source cross-platform Neuromorphic Auditory VISualizer

pyNAVIS is an open-source cross-platform Python module for analyzing and processing spiking information obtained from neuromorphic auditory sensors. It is primarily focused to be used with a NAS, but can work with any other cochlea sensor.

Installing

pyNAVIS is distributed on PyPi and can be installed with pip:

pip install pyNAVIS

For more information, head over to the ReadTheDocs Documentation.

Getting started

Now that you have everything set up, you can create a new Python file and import the package:

from pyNAVIS import *

With this, you can now use all the functionalities that pyNAVIS provides. A more detailed guide with examples can be read here.

Software package

The Python code has been documented using docstrings, which is very convenient for users that want to either use the software or develop new features and functionalities.

To see all the information for the different Python modules, classes, methods and all the possible configuration options, read the pyNAVIS package section.
