The aim of the plugin architecture is to ease the process of creating and sharing different tools between researchers. We thus encourage plugin developers to share their work with the community. We plan to create an easy to use tool to publish and find plugins but in the meanwhile, any developer can edit this page to add links to their source repositories and binary plugin distributions, if so they wish. If you're a developer, please feel free to add your plugins below.
In case of links to binary plugins, we advise to add a description stating which version of the GUI were they built for, so in case the API changes users can know which binary releases work with with versions.
FrameGrabber
Description: A simple video4linux2-based video frame grabber plugin. It retrieves frames from any device supported by v4l2 and displays them using opencv. Moreover, frames can be saved to disk (in jpg format) together with open-ephys hardware time stamps making it easy to synchronize frames and recorded data later on. Depending on your camera this approach should be useful for most (behavioral) tracking experiments. In case the experiment requires very precise time stamps, e.g., high-speed whisker tracking, it might be a good idea to use a camera that can send TTL pulses for each frame.

Dynamic Threshold for Spike Detection
Description: This is a modification of the standard SpikeDetector plugin where instead of using a fixed amplitude threshold, we compute a dynamic threshold as described by Quiroga et al.. The plugin remains compatible with the standard SpikeViewer plugin.
