Free software for visualising and processing neurophysiological recordings: NeuroScope (viewer for local field potentials, spikes, events and animal position), Klusters (manual spike sorting), NDManager (recording parameters and processing pipeline) and ndmanager-plugins (conversion, filtering, spike extraction, PCA, video tracking). Originally written by Lynn Hazan in György Buzsáki's lab, with Michaël Zugaro.
If you use them, please cite: L. Hazan, M. Zugaro, G. Buzsáki (2006). Klusters, NeuroScope, NDManager: a free software suite for neurophysiological data processing and visualization. J Neurosci Methods 155:207-216.
Status (October 2026): being ported to Qt 6; see the revival roadmap. Until the first Qt 6 release, the all-in-one 2.0.0 package for current Ubuntu is available on SourceForge.
