Abstract

This repository contains the data and code (in Matlab) used to analyze the electrical and optical properties of Neuropixels Opto probes, as published inLakunina, Socha, Ladd, et al, “Neuropixels Opto: Combining high-resolution electrophysiology and optogenetics”, Nature Methods 2026The names of the files indicate the relevant figure in the paper:AnalyzeLightPropagation.m (recreates Figure 2b-d)AnalyzeLightInPhantom.m (recreates Extended Data Fig 2b-e)AnalyzeProbeLoss.m (recreates Figure 2a)AnalyzeRMSNoise.m (recreates Extended Data Fig 3a-b)
