[Doc] Documentation of SPADE module requires more details

2

**Describe the bug** The SPADE documentation requires more details on how to run the SPADE analysis, in particular the pattern filtering functions. Given the speed-optimized SPADE code, these should then...

[Feature] Add test for automatic kernel selection to test against reference implementation

4

**Feature** To prevent bugs such as #245, there should be a unit test of the instantaneous rate estimate against reference data. One option is to compare against data obtained from...

**Feature** Recently Neo moved towards github actions to carry out those unit tests taking in gin data using datalad. This is an approach to consider in our efforts to increase...

For some analysis functions, such as spike triggered average or spike triggered phases, it is desireable to limit the analysis to a small part of the input data. One option...

Option to copy array annotations in `duplicate_with_new_data()` function

1

In the general case, it's desirable to not copy array annotations when duplicating an object with new data. However, sometimes it may make sense, e.g., when z-scoring an analog signal....

Support Quantity-like annotations when saving/loading .mat files

1

Currently, the neomatlabio can save annotations of objects. If these annotations are a quantities object, they loose their units and only a classic `np.array` is retained. In contrast, object properties...

Include spike_train_synchrony in the init of elephant

1

This fixes an issue where ``` import elephant ``` did not automatically import the `spike_train_synchrony` module reported by @essink .

Array plotting should use Neo annotations and utilize ImageSequence object

3

The plotting of array grids (currently: `array_data module`) should utilize information of the Neo object to plot itself, e.g., which electrode is which channel, etc. Currently this is not well...

**Feature** Based on the `datasets` module, which handles downloading the datasets from `datasets.python-elephant.org`, one could image to have a function that is more intuitive for a user to download example...
