Recent advances in calcium imaging acquisition techniques are creating data sets of the order of Terabytes/week. Memory and computationally efficient algorithms are required to analyze in reasonable amount of time terabytes of data. This projects implements a set of essential methods required in the calcium imaging movies analysis pipeline. Fast and scalable algorithms are implemented for motion correction, movie manipulation and source and spike extraction. CaImAn also contains some routine to the analysis of behavior from video cameras. In summary, CaImAn provides a general purpose tool to handle large movies, with special emphasis tools for calcium imaging and behavioral data sets.

This project led by Eftychios Pnevmatikakis and Andrea Giovannucci (see recommandation letter) was the one I worked on during my internship in New York City at the Simons foundation during the summer 2017. I worked on the comparison project, the Graphical User interface, the documentation and many more topics. I think that nothing can describe better what this mission was about than my internship report
