Additionally, it provides functions to compute multivariate SPIKE and ISI distances, as well as averaging and general spike train processing. All computation intensive parts are implemented in C via cython_ to reach a competitive performance (factor 100-200 over plain Python). +PySpike provides the same fundamental functionality as the SPIKY_ framework for Matlab, which additionally contains spike-train generators, more spike train distance measures and many visualization routines. + All source codes are published under the BSD_License_. -..
