SpikeSSL framework enhances neural spike inference for calcium imaging

Researchers have developed SpikeSSL, a novel framework designed to improve the accuracy of inferring neural spikes from two-photon calcium imaging data. This framework utilizes dynamics-informed state-space layers that are broadly motivated by calcium dynamics, offering a more biologically plausible approach than generic temporal regressors. SpikeSSL also incorporates a multi-modal conditioning encoder to adapt to different calcium indicators and signal statistics, providing calibrated per-frame uncertainty. The system demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in both in-domain and zero-shot generalization scenarios across various datasets, and its effectiveness is further enhanced by training with synthesized data that mimics diverse kinetic parameters and noise profiles.
