PANDORA is a Matlab Toolbox that:
- Makes database management accessible from your electrophysiology project;
- Works offline within Matlab;
- Requires no external software;
- Is flexible, can easily tie with existing Matlab scripts;
- Can query database as in SQL.
If you use PANDORA, please cite these from your software or publications:

Use the 'Download ZIP' option to download the latest version from the
Github page. Select 'Set Path' option or use the addpath Matlab
command to add the classes/ and functions/ subdirectories to the
Matlab search path. For example:
addpath <DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY>/classes
addpath <DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY>/functions
To test the installation try help tests_db and help collectspikes,
which should give you their help text.
- Loading intracellular data from recordings or simulations to create trace objects.
- Intracellular spike finding
- Extracting and analyzing firing properties (rate, spike amplitude, etc.)
- Tabular database analysis
- Creating a database from files
See the PDF manual under the doc/ directory. It may be
somewhat outdated, but the online help using Matlab's help command
will be always up-to-date.
