# FAIR4RS Project: 

**Name:** 

**Project Name:** autoMEA

**Code Repository: [autoMEA on GitLab](
https://gitlab.com/QMAI/papers/autoMEA)**

**Scientific and Software Background**: 

**Project Description:** 

autoMEA is a Python package for automated analysis of Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEA) datasets. 

It is a complete framework to analyze MEA data, going from raw signals to higher-order statistics about the data. It contains routines to detect threshold, spikes and bursts. 

The main feature of the package is the machine-learning based burst detection. A pre-trained machine learning is used to detect optimal MaxInterval Parameters to detect bursts from spikes. 

**Project goals**

The goal of the *package* itself is to provide a user-friendly framework to analyze MEA data. This was already achieved, and the package is ready-to-use.

The goal of this program is to refine the package, from a software-engineering perspective. Main objectives consist in organizing the folder structure, creating tests, and preparing a ReadTheDocs page. 

## Progress Update
:::info
Throughout the FAIR4RS program, we'll work on a git repository. Improvements can be noticed comparing the [original version](https://gitlab.com/QMAI/papers/autoMEA/-/tags/v0.0.4) with the [updated version](https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/tree/<new_version>).
