bug in burst feature?

[coschroeder]

Hey,
two points for the Sweep_Burstiness feature:

• it often does not identify bursts. But is there a more detailed documentation what it should do?
• running my pipeline it worked for some voltage traces but then I got the following error:

  "[...]/ephyspy/features/utils.py", line 122, in get_sweep_burst_metrics
  burst_metrics = sweep._process_bursts()
  "[...]/ephyspy/allen_sdk/ephys_extractor.py", line 368, in _process_bursts
    bursts = ft.detect_bursts(
 "[...]/ephyspy/allen_sdk/ephys_features.py", line 1048, in detect_bursts
    isi_types[pauses] = "pauselike"
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'pauselike'

No idea why what pauselike does....

Maybe you can have a look?
But in the meanwhile, I will skip this feature as it seems to be not very robust in my case.

Hey,

thanks for reporting. I have also noticed that burst features are a bit buggy. Unfortunately, they all rely on 'sweep._process_bursts()', which is entirely dependent on the AllenSDK and it is likely an upstream issue. I will still dig into it a bit more and report back. Do you have a specific sweep that triggers this error and could you post it?
