August 2025 highlights for the aolabNeuro/analyze repository: delivered data processing and API enhancements that improve reliability, performance, and clarity for researchers and engineers. Kilosort data parsing now supports kilosort4 and kilosort2.5, with version-specific data loading and organized storage that reduces downstream errors. The LDA cross-validation wrapper was renamed and refactored to xval_lda_subsample_wrapper, clarifying parameters and improving multi-dimensional data handling and return values. Documentation and learning resources were expanded with an ECoG notebook and improved docstrings and doc structure. These changes reduce maintenance burden, accelerate analysis workflows, and improve onboarding for new users across neurodata analysis tasks.

June 2025 performance: In aolabNeuro/analyze, delivered foundational Neuropixel data processing enhancements and improved data organization. Implemented Neuropixel Data Preprocessing Pipeline with spike (proc_neuropixel_spikes) and time-series (proc_neuropixel_ts) processing, including modular LFP/AP data handling, expanded test coverage, docstring improvements, and test cleanup to manage large preprocessed files. Consolidated preprocessing tests and refactored code for readability and maintainability. Extended Neuropixel data concatenation and organization by renaming and expanding functions (concat_neuropixel_within_day -> concat_neuropixel; concat_neuropixel -> concat_neuropixels with explicit concat_number), saving concatenated outputs to port folders within the kilosort preproc directory, and updating tests accordingly. These changes collectively improve data processing speed, reproducibility, and maintainability while reducing regression risk across neuropixel workflows.
