Stimfit is a free, fast and simple program for viewing and analyzing electrophysiological data. It's currently available for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It features an embedded Python shell that allows you to extend the program functionality by using numerical libraries such as NumPy and SciPy. A standalone Python module for file i/o that doesn't depend on the graphical user interface is also available.
In this link you can find a list of publications that used Stimfit for analysis. We'd appreciate if you could cite the following publication when you use Stimfit for your research:
Guzman SJ, Schlögl A, Schmidt-Hieber C (2014) Stimfit: quantifying electrophysiological data with Python. Front Neuroinform doi: 10.3389/fninf.2014.00016
####Windows#### The Windows version, including the python-stfio module, is available here. ####OS X#### Stimfit for OS X is available through MacPorts. After installation, run
$ sudo port install stimfit py27-stfio
We don't supply installation packages for OS X any longer because of fragmentation issues with OS X versions (10.5--10.9), Python versions (2.x, 3.x) and architectures (i386, x86_64, ppc). ####GNU/Linux#### On Debian and Ubuntu systems, you can get Stimfit and the stfio module from the standard repositories:
$ sudo apt-get install stimfit python-stfio
More recent versions can be found on the Debian Neuroscience Repository, and there's a bleeding-edge ppa for Ubuntu on launchpad.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| ./src/libstfio | File i/o library for common electrophysiology formats |
| ./src/libstfnum | Mathematical operations for measurements and fittings |
| ./src/pystfio | Python wrapper around libstfio |
| ./src/stimfit | Stimfit program |
| ./src/stimfit/py | stf module that gets imported into the embedded Python shell |
libstfio is a private library that won't be installed system-wide. You may therefore end up with two copies of libstfio.so: One in the private stimfit library directory (/usr/lib/stimfit/ or similar), the other one in the Python site packages path for pystfio. libstfio may turn into a system-wide library in the future.
