# [State-of-the-Art SpikeSorting with SpikeInterface: Overview & Tutorial](https://neurons.cambridgeneurotech.com/webinars/s4e2)

 Written by [Cambridge NeuroTech](https://neurons.cambridgeneurotech.com/webinars/author/cambridge-neurotech) | November 7, 2023

## In this combined webinar and tutorial, with Alessio Buccino and Samuel Garcia, we cover the basics of using SpikeInterface for running multiple spike-sorting packages on extracellular raw spike data, recorded using our [advanced silicon neural probes](https://www.cambridgeneurotech.com/neural-probes). The talk covers a brief history of spike-sorting, current challenges and describes the benefits and benchmarks of SpikeInterface, as a prelude to a hands-on demo / tutorial session (presented in the next webinar).

Spikeinterface is a collection of Python modules designed to improve the accessibility, reliability, and reproducibility of spike sorting and all its associated computations. With SpikeInterface, users can:

- read/write many extracellular file formats **|** pre-process extracellular recordings **|** run many popular, semi-automatic spike sorters **|** post-process sorted datasets **|** compare and benchmark spike sorting outputs **|** validate and curate spike sorting outputs **|** visualize recordings and spike sorting outputs.

A recent tutorial that showcases how to use SpikeInterface with Cambridge Neurotech probes is available [here](https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spiketutorials/tree/master/Official_Tutorial_SI_0.99_Nov23).

You can also check out the [SpikeInterface documentation](https://spikeinterface.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and don't hesitate to open issues on the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface) if you have any further questions.
