His main goal is to build software that works well and is accessible to experimentalists. He received his PhD in neuroscience from UCSD before working as a postdoc at Duke University with Miguel Nicolelis on sensory prosthetic systems. He then worked in computational optics with Roarke Horstmeyer and Eva Naumann, helping to develop a multi-camera microscope system.

Memory and computationally efficient algorithms are required to analyze in reasonable amount of time terabytes of data. This project 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 routines for the analyisis of behavior from video cameras. In summary, CaImAn provides a general purpose tool to handle large movies, with special emphasis on tools for two-photon and one-photon calcium imaging and behavioral datasets. \ No newline at end of file +CaImAn provides a full pipeline for analyzing single-cell optical physiology data -- both calcium and voltage imaging data. Given raw data, CaImAn provides algorithms for motion-correction and the extraction of the locations of neural components and their corresponding calcium/voltage traces. It also includes extensive tools for visualizing data, results, and quality control.
