Releasing via Plugin Installer

[jsiegle]

Hello! The Open Ephys development team would like to make this plugin available to the community via the GUI's Plugin Installer.

Before we do that, we have a few questions:

• Is the code on GitHub up to date?
• Are there any particular features that need improvement? We are happy to put some effort in to make the plugin as general-purpose as possible
• Is there additional documentation available beside what's in the README file? We will be adding a page dedicated to this plugin on the GUI's new docs site.
• Is there a sample dataset you've been using for testing/benchmarking?

Thanks!

Hey Josh. Sorry I didn't have notifications on and didn't see this!

• Yes, this is up to date for our changes.
• For features not so much, but I would guess there are a few bugs still hanging around that could looked into.
• I don't have any more documentation, but if you feel there are certain parts could use more description I wouldn't mind adding them in.
• I've mostly just used sin waves (either alone or added into prerecorded rat data at varying amplitudes)

Best,
Mark

No worries! We are able to get the plugin up and running just fine – the CumulativeTFR class was really nice to work with! To get the display to update in near-realtime, we added a downsampling step before computing the FFT. We also pared down the UI quite a bit, so it only displays a two-channel power spectrum for now. In the future, we are planning to make the frequency range customizable, and also add a 2D spectrogram display. Let me know if you'd like to help with either of these things!
