Welcome to the Open Ephys project!

This GUI was designed to provide a fast and flexible interface for acquiring and visualizing data from extracellular electrodes.

This version of the GUI is based around a true plugin architecture, meaning the data processing modules are compiled separately from the main application. This should simplify the process of adding new functionality, since new modules can be created without needing to re-compile the entire application.

Everything is written in C++, with the help of the Juce library. Juce is lightweight, easy to learn, and completely cross-platform. What's more, it includes a variety of classes for audio processing, which have been co-opted to process neural data. It might be necessary to create custom data processing classes in the future, but for now, Juce takes care of a lot of the messy bits involved in analyzing many parallel data streams.

Installation instructions specific for the plugin GUI can be found here: https://open-ephys.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OEW/Plugin+architecture

The two most important branches are master, for stable releases of tested versions, and development for newer, less tested versions (pull request belong here). If you don't need the latest features use the master branch or, equivalently, download the binaries.

We recommend reading through the wiki before attempting to make any changes. For pull requests look at our guidelines regarding the different branches.

If you want to add files to the core GUI, you'll have to do that through the "Introjucer," using the "open-ephys.jucer" file. The Introjucer makefiles are located in the JuceLibraryCode/Introjucer/Builds folder, or as part of the Juce source.

New plugin developers can publish links to their work in this list to make them available to the general public.
