CaImAn implements a set of essential methods required to analyze calcium and voltage imaging data. It provides fast and scalable algorithms for motion correction, source extraction, spike deconvolution, and registering neurons across multiple sessions. It is suitable for both two-photon and one-photon fluorescence microscopy data, and can be run in both offline and online modes. Documentation is [here](https://caiman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
