spikefinder

benchmarking challenge for spike detection in imaging data

This repo contains the code for the web app (for displaying and submitting results) and the server (for storing and fetching results in a database). This document describes how to download the data, develop algoritms in your favorite computing environment, and submit your results for evaluation!

web app

To run this web app locally for testing, clone this repo, then call

npm install
npm start

To run in production, call

npm run build
npm run server

To see debug statements, call export DEBUG=spikefinder before starting.

You need to specify a mongo database inside server/config.js, and also set the environmental variables MONGO_USER and MONGO_PASSWORD. A script for fetching datasets is included in server/fetch.js, and also requires that AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, because the data is fetched from S3.
