Araya Develops Enhanced Features for Optical Neural Functional Data Analysis Software (OptiNiSt)
Araya Inc. (CEO; Ryota Kanai, hereinafter "Araya"), a company specializing in research software and database development has developed enhanced features to improve the user experience of "OptiNiSt (*1)," a GUI-based software tool for optical neural science function analysis.
Under “Brain/minds” Project by Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (hereinafter “AMED”), this development was undertaken through a commission from the Neural Computation Unit at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (hereinafter “OIST”) and Ohki Laboratory at the University of Tokyo (hereinafter “UTokyo”).
Araya will continue to support Research DX by facilitating an environment that enables researchers to concentrate more on their research activities.
New Features:
- Multi-user support
- Added authentication and user management
- Enables data sharing among users
- Restoration of Workflow Sessions
- Improved functionality to automatically restore workflow sessions even after reloading during execution
- NWB File Algorithm Identification
- Enhanced the capability to identify results when utilizing multiple algorithms of the same type
- Global Setting and Utilization of Imaging Rate
- Globally set parameters related to the imaging rate within a single pipeline, reducing the effort required for parameter editing
- Implemented unit conversion for Time Course plotting using the imaging rate
Supports multiple accounts and allows data sharing.
Displaying results of a single data using multiple analysis methods.
The analyzed data is recorded and can be exported in NWB format.
