Methods for calcium imaging cell identification and fluorescence activity trace reconstruction

Imaging analysis with CIAtah (https://github.com/bahanonu/ciatah ).

With the increased use of calcium (and voltage) imaging for a plethora of research purposes, the need for tools that can accurately, quickly, and efficiently process this data is needed. As a graduate student in Mark Schnitzer's lab , I built and furthered new tools (e.g. CELLMax and CLEAN) and software packages (see CIAtah, https://github.com/bahanonu/ciatah ) to improve analysis of calcium imaging data. While there are existing reviews covering calcium imaging analysis, I decided to expand upon the table in my dissertation to include more recent and additional older algorithms, tools, and analysis pipelines. Those interested in a brief overview of calcium imaging, see the return of the brain initiative notes .

The table below is primarily focused on tools for calcium imaging, but some of them also include tools for voltage imaging, data handling for biology, and more. The goal will be to expand this to include additional imaging analysis tools going forward and I might make it more dynamic akin to my Nobel Prize Browser .

This is a part of the brain initiative notes and can also be found at neuroscience imaging analysis tools or https://github.com/bahanonu/imaging_tools .

Table updates
Below is a changelog of updates to the table, such as adding new methods.

2021.11.14 - Added FIBSI, SpecSeg, FIOLA, and PatchWarp.
2021.11.29 - Added MVG-CNN.
2023.09.12 - Updated online table to include additional papers (added throughout 2022-2023).

Table note

I use cell extraction to refer to algorithms that perform cell segmentation and extract neural activity traces.
Any additional papers or algorithms that should be added or suggested updates to the table, leave a comment below or open an issue on the GitHub page, I want to make sure everyone’s brilliant work is acknowledged!
In cases where the publication did not explicitly give the algorithm a name, made one based on the underlying method used.
This table includes algorithms that simultaneously extract cell images/contours and reconstruct cell activity traces along with ones mainly focused on determining one or the other.
Several calcium imaging related packages have also been included along with algorithms dealing with post-hoc handling of data or cell activity traces.
CELLMax is our algorithm that we have presented at Society for Neuroscience and COSYNE.

neuroscience and biology technologies
30 november 2014 | neuroscience

Earlier this year I created a webpage to list various labs, websites, and other resources related to neuroscience and biotechnology. Decide[...]d to expand on this and create a living document of various technologies currently used in neuroscience.

from the archives: poems, part 1
24 march 2013 | poems

A couple of my old poems from way back when, with minor edits. Enjoy.[...]

why you should watch black mirror
29 november 2015 | television

Black Mirror is a unique and ever timely experience. The vignettes are spot on and while each explores a different aspect of our interactio[...]n with technology, the internet, and social media, there is an underlying dystopian view of the world that unifies the whole series. Watch it.

satellite-based videos: eastern europe during the russia-ukraine conflict
30 november 2022 | satellite

To visualize the nighttime lights of Eastern Europe, with a focus on times before and after the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, I updated [...]my geoSatView R code originally built to view forest fires in the west coast of the United States to use satellite data from VNP46A1 and other datasets collected from the Suomi NPP VIIRS satellite.

I then created higher-quality movies in MATLAB by using the VNP46A2 Black Marble dataset collected by the same satellite, which has reduced cloud and other artifacts due to additional data processing. This allowed me to quantitate a permanent reduction in nighttime lights within Ukraine (in line with my initial hypothesis) and identify a multi-stage reduction of nighttime lights in Kiev's outer neighborhoods/metropolitan area that was greater than that seen in the city core/center. This highlights the utility of public satellite data to quickly test hypotheses and visualize large-scale changes.

I will go over how the Black Marble dataset is collected and processed along with how I created the movies and the advantages/disadvantages of each data source.

Using this platform and codebase, in follow-up posts I will look at 2021 Texas power crisis during the winter storms, vegetation changes in deforested areas or after conservation efforts, and other events.
