patricia reynaud-bouret , christine tuleau and frank grammont (j. a. dieudonné laboratory, university of nice sophia-antipolis) on the analysis of spike trains ; antonio galves ( neuromat at the university of são paulo) on spike sorting and spike train analysis. research animation i am a member of the "guiding committee" of the multi-electrodes research group . i am a member of the organizing committee of the semin-r , a parisian r users' group. software software i use : i could not work without arch or manjaro linux, emacs + org + babel , python , r , maxima , sbcl , conkeror , tex live . software i develop : my current "experimental" efforts on spike sorting can be found and downloaded from my pouzatdetorakiseuroscipy2014 on github or zenodo (doi: 10.5281/zenodo.15070 ) and my neuronal-spike-sorting github as well as my spike sorting pages. for a software implementing these ideas with an impressive user interface, look at samuel garcia's tridesclous . star (spike train analysis with r) is an r package. calciomatic an r package for fluorescence calcium measurements analysis, developed jointly with sébastien joucla . dynclust an r package for non-parametric denoising and clustering of noisy images indexed by time, developed jointly with tiffany lieury and yves rozenholc . a simulator written in c of the "galves-löcherbach model". the most current versions of what i do can now be found on my github page and on my gitlab page . publications my five latest publications: suhan senova, cyril poupon, julien dauguet, hannah stewart, guillaume p dugué, caroline jan, koichi hosomi, g.s. ralph, l. barnes, xavier drouot, , jean françois mangin, frédéric pain, isabelle doignon, romina aron badin, emmanuel brouillet, edward boyden, k.a. mitrophanous, philippe hantraye and stéphane palfi (2018) optogenetic tractography for anatomo-functional characterization of cortico-subcortical neural circuits in non-human primates scientific reports 8 , 10.1038/s41598-018-21486-8 . lars paeger, andreas pippow, simon hess, moritz paehler, andreas husch, , jens c. brüning, peter kloppenburg (2017) energy imbalance alters ca2+-handling and excitability of pomc neurons elife 2017;6:e25641 doi: 10.7554/elife.25641. stephen eglen, ben marwick, yaroslav halchenko, michael hanke, shoaib sufi, padraig gleeson, r angus silver, andrew davison, linda lanyon, mathew abrams, thomas wachtler, david j willshaw, , jean-baptiste poline (2017) toward standard practices for sharing computer code and programs in neuroscience nature neuroscience 20 : 770-773 ( web , cover piece by stephen eglen). arthur leblois and (2017) multi-unit recording: fundamental concepts and new directions in neurobiology of motor control , edited by scott l. hooper and ansgar büschges, john wiley & sons, doi: 10.1002/9781118873397.ch3.
