Neumaier Lab

Miniscope Processing Suite

Version 1.0.0

πŸ”¬ Professional Calcium Imaging Analysis

MPS is a comprehensive pipeline for processing miniscope calcium imaging data. From raw videos to publication-ready traces, MPS guides you through every step with an intuitive GUI and powerful algorithms.

Built by neuroscientists for neuroscientists, MPS implements CNMF with modern initialization, watershed-based detection, multi-penalty LASSO spatial updates, and optimized temporal updatesβ€”scaling to large datasets.
