-Welcome to BluePyEfe's documentation!
-=====================================
-
-BluePyEfe aims at easing the process of reading experimental recordings and
-extracting batches of electrical features from these recordings. To do so, it
-combines
-trace reading functions and features extraction functions from the eFel library.
-
-BluePyEfe outputs protocols and features files in the format used by BluePyOpt
-for neuron electrical model building.
-
-To get started, we recommend to have a look at the example located in the
-github directory of the repository.
