In order to be as lightweight a dependency as possible, Neo is deliberately limited to represention of data, with no functions for data analysis or visualization.\n\nNeo is used by a number of other software tools, including SpykeViewer (data analysis and visualization), Elephant (data analysis), the G-node suite (databasing), PyNN (simulations), tridesclous_ (spike sorting) and ephyviewer (data visualization).\n\nNeo implements a hierarchical data model well adapted to intracellular and extracellular electrophysiology and EEG data with support for multi-electrodes (for example tetrodes). Neo's data objects build on the quantities package, which in turn builds on NumPy by adding support for physical dimensions. Thus Neo objects behave just like normal NumPy arrays, but with additional metadata, checks for dimensional consistency and automatic unit conversion.",

+========================
+Neo 0.14.5 release notes
+========================
+
+23 June 2026
+
+This release of Neo includes many bug fixes across various IOs, removal of previously deprecated features, and improvements to the SpikeGLX Neuropixels probe detection infrastructure.
+
+See all `pull requests`_ included in this release and the `list of closed issues`_.
+
+
+Removed deprecated features
+----------------------------
+
+The ``load_sync_channel`` parameter has been removed from :code:`SpikeGLXRawIO` and :code:`OpenEphysBinaryRawIO`, as it was deprecated in a prior release.
+
+
+Bug fixes and improvements in IO modules
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes and/or improvements have been made to :code:`AxonaIO`, :code:`BlackrockIO`, :code:`IntanRawIO`, :code:`OpenEphysBinaryIO`, :code:`SpikeGadgetsRawIO`, :code:`SpikeGLXIO`, and :code:`TdtIO`.
+
+
+SpikeGLX improvements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:code:`SpikeGLXIO` now uses a ProbeTable to infer the Neuropixels probe type, replacing hardcoded probe type detection. A GitHub Action was added to automatically keep the probe features table up-to-date from the upstream ProbeTable. Additionally, a missing ``firstSample`` field in SpikeGLX meta files now defaults to 0, and the stream-collision error message has been improved.
