Introduction

BluePyEfe aims at easing the process of reading experimental recordings and extracting batches of efeatures from these recordings. To do so, it combines trace reading functions and features extraction functions from the eFel library.

BluePyEfe outputs protocols and features files in the format used by BluePyOpt for neuron electrical model building.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+ (still compatible with Python 2.7+)
• Pip (installed by default in newer versions of Python)
• eFEL eFeature Extraction Library (automatically installed by pip)
• Numpy (automatically installed by pip)
• Pandas (automatically installed by pip)
• Scipy (automatically installed by pip)
• Neo (automatically installed by pip)
• The instruction below are written assuming you have access to a command shell on Linux / UNIX / MacOSX / Cygwin

Installation
