Just updated CaliAliโa toolkit for longitudinal tracking in calcium imaging. It now auto-chunks each session; set your desired frames-per-batch and let it handle the rest. No manual file splitting, no RAM bottlenecks. https://t.co/Mrz9uYkx8j

Just updated CaliAli โ a tool for tracking neurons in 1p calcium imaging across sessions ๐พ Now with low-memory mode: split large sessions to process data even when single files donโt fit in RAM https://t.co/Mrz9uYjZiL Having trouble? Feel free to reach out โ I reply weekly.
