The code implements a method for simultaneous source extraction and spike inference from large scale calcium imaging movies. The code is suitable for the analysis of somatic imaging data. Implementation for the analysis of dendritic/axonal imaging data will be added in the future.
The algorithm is presented in more detail in

The following matlab toolboxes are needed for the default parameter settings:
- Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
- Image processing toolbox
Depending on the settings the following toolboxes may also be required
- Signal processing toolbox (recommended but not required)
- Parallel computing toolbox (recommended for large datasets but not required)
- Optimization toolbox (not required)
The default options for the algorithm require the following packages:
- The CVX library which can be downloaded from http://cvxr.com/cvx/download/ (follow the installation instructions provided there)
Depending on the settings the following packages may also be required
- SPGL1 package from https://github.com/mpf/spgl1 (for solving constrained_foopsi using SPGL1)
- Bayesian spike inference package from https://github.com/epnev/continuous_time_ca_sampler (for using the 'MCMC" deconvolution method).
