ENCORE Documentation¶
ENCORE is an open-source software tool for the identification and comparison of neuronal ensembles from population activity data, including calcium imaging and electrophysiological recordings.
Hint
Check the Quickstart for a demo.
The software provides:
A graphical user interface (GUI) for interactive analysis
A modular architecture that facilitates the integration of new algorithms
Supports running the algorithms of ENCORE directly from Python scripts
Support for multiple published ensemble detection methods
ENCORE is designed to support both exploratory data analysis and reproducible scientific research, with a strong emphasis on transparency, extensibility, and community contributions.
