Reading custom data formats

SpikeSort provides a flexible interface with various data sources via so call input-output Filters. The code available for download already contains a few filters that allow for reading (and in some cases writing) of several data formats, including:

• raw binary data,
• HDF5 files,
• proprietary data formats (such as Axon .abf) supported by Neo library.
