Figure 14. Interactive visualization of Minian output.

The three images on the top show the spatial footprints of all the cells (left), spatial temporal activities of selected subset of cells (middle), and preprocessed data. The bottom row shows the display control panel (left), temporal dynamics of selected subset of cells (middle), and manual curation panel (right). The field of view, current frame, and selection of cells are all synced across different plots to help user focus on a specific region and time. The users can use the control panel to select groups of cells, change display options for temporal dynamics and spatial temporal activities, and change the current frame or play the movie. In addition, the users can directly select cells from the spatial footprints plot on the top left. The users can also directly jump to frames by double-clicking on the temporal dynamic plots. These interactive features help the users quickly focus on region and time of interests. The manual curation menu on bottom right can be used to assign unit labels to each cell, which indicate whether a cell should be dropped or merged.
