OptiNiSt(Optical Neuroimage Studio) is a GUI based workflow pipeline tools for processing two-photon calcium imaging data.

OptiNiSt helps researchers try multiple data analysis methods, visualize the results, and construct the data analysis pipelines easily and quickly on GUI. OptiNiSt's data-saving format follows NWB standards.

OptiNiSt also supports reproducibility of scientific research, standardization of analysis protocols, and developments of novel analysis tools as plug-in.
