Mouse Hippocampal Sharp-Wave Ripple Dataset Curated From Public Neuropixels Datasets

The Allen Brain Institute (ABI) and the International Brain Laboratory (IBL) have produced large high quality open behavioural and electrophysiological datasets collected from behaving mice using neuropixels probes. Shared data from these projects are in the form of spike times, raw video footage, scored behaviour, but also local field potentials (LFP). These probes often pass through hippocampus while simultaneously recording from a number of other regions, providing the opportunity to evaluate how hippocampal LFP features during synchronized high-frequency bursts known as sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) impact behavioural task variables or spiking activity on other recorded contacts. Currently, there are no data standards or file formats for sharing SWRs. Here we present the SWR data from the ABI and IBL datasets in a sharable format, which integrates with their APIs. We have extracted, curated using field standards, and shared over 967,431 SWR events from 210 mice from these datasets as well as the code used to process them.
