# SplitMerge
24
My GUI for the manual stage of spike sorting with [UltraMegaSort2000](https://github.com/danamics/UMS2K) (UMS).
35

6+
If you use this software in your work, please cite both the original UMS2000 toolbox (Hill DN, Mehta SB, Kleinfeld D. *"Quality metrics to accompany spike sorting of extracellular signals"* __J Neurosci__, 2011) and this software (Merricks EM, *"SplitMerge toolbox: a fast GUI for UltraMegaSort2000"* __DOI:10.5281/zenodo.3951171__, 2020)

## Quickstart
9+
Download the most recent [release](https://github.com/edmerix/SplitMerge/releases/tag/v1.0) and install the app in Matlab by opening "SplitMerge.mlappinstall". The app can now be started by clicking on its button in the "Apps" tab at the top of the Matlab main window.
10+
11+
Alternatively, add the source code directory to your Matlab path, and enter `SplitMerge` in the command window. `app = SplitMerge();` will enable a handle to interact with the GUI programmatically, and allows for name, value pairs of arguments to be passed to the app from the following options:

|-----------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|

| Directory | Immediately open the specified directory (can be changed in-app) | '' |

| Width | Start app with this width (pixels) | 1440 |
21+
| TreeWidth | Set the left column (file list) to this width (pixels) | 200 |
22+
| Epoch | Lock time plots to these start and stop times (seconds). If empty, defaults to earliest and latest spikes in selected channel | [] |
23+
| ShowTime | Show seconds on time plots | false |
24+
| Colorful | Plot units with different colors (can be toggled in-app) | true |
25+
| ToScale | Plot units on the same scale (can be toggled in-app) | false |
26+
| nFFT | Length to use for FFT calculation in Noise Removal tab | 8192 |
27+
| Debugging | Show verbose messages about functioning to command window | false |
28+

__UPDATE 2020-07-14__: Major overhaul of the main plot method giving a huge increase in the speed of loading units.

It is designed to work on directories containing UMS result structs for each channel in many files, speeding up processing of large numbers of channels, such as in the Utah array.

It is now fully functional with an original, unmodified copy of UMS :)

~~__N.B.__ This is a work in progress... Importantly, I have made _minor_ alterations to the original toolbox, which _may_ be required for full functionality. These requirements will be removed/documented shortly (see todos below).~~

_BTW_ this uses Matlab's class structure (using @ClassName directory and separate methods files within). This structure must be maintained in order for the methods to work correctly.
