Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Delivered a configurable spike sorting workflow with control over LFP generation order and multi-KiloSort shank configuration in ayalab1/neurocode. Refactored the preprocessing pipeline to support these options, enabling reproducible and scalable analyses. Fixed a pulse-exclusion handling bug in state scoring by initializing missing pulses to an empty array and correcting time-period logic, preventing runtime errors when pulses are absent. These changes reduce setup time, improve processing reliability for multi-shank experiments, and enhance data quality through more robust state scoring. Key commits: 98938da6a85ab28e79ad65b5e46a142b20238770; 8bbd4a936c860466211a604f72867e9b8d6384a0.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (Month: 2025-02) performance summary for ayalab1/neurocode. Delivered two high-impact updates that strengthen data reliability, reproducibility, and preprocessing safeguards across the neurocode workflow. Key features delivered: - MergePoints Day Data Processing Script: Added pullMergePointsDay.m to process MergePoints data by day, organizing timestamps, handling sub-sessions, identifying first/last sessions per day, and computing a day ID from folder structure. This enables day-level analytics and improved data segmentation. Major bugs fixed: - XML File Overwrite Protection in Preprocessing: Introduced a guard to prevent overwriting existing XML configuration files in the target directory during preprocessing, reducing risk of configuration corruption and data loss. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened data processing reliability and reproducibility by introducing day-based data processing and protective file I/O checks. - Improved data traceability and auditability through explicit day IDs derived from folder structure. - Reduced operational risk in preprocessing by safeguarding configuration files, aligning with best-practice data hygiene. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - MATLAB scripting and data processing (pullMergePointsDay.m), file I/O, and session-based organization. - Robust defensive programming to protect existing configurations. - Version-controlled changes with clear, descriptive commits.
