Installation instructions

deepSTRF requires Python ≥ 3.10.

From PyPI (recommended)

Install the latest release and its dependencies in one command:

pip install deepSTRF

We recommend a dedicated virtual environment, e.g. with Anaconda:

conda create --name deepstrf python=3.10
conda activate deepstrf
pip install deepSTRF

Optional extras

Some functionality has heavier, opt-in dependencies. Install them with the corresponding extra, e.g. pip install "deepSTRF[eeg]":

• [docs] — build the Sphinx documentation

• [allen] — Allen Brain Observatory tooling (allensdk)

• [s4] — JIT-compiled CUDA kernels for the S4 model

• [eeg] — MNE for parsing .fif EEG files (Alice EEG dataset)

• [le] — gammatone filter bank for the Le 2025 dataset

From source (development)

To work on deepSTRF itself, clone the repository and install it in editable mode with the development extra (test runner, linters, notebook tooling):

git clone https://github.com/urancon/deepSTRF.git
cd deepSTRF
pip install -e ".[dev]"      # or `pip install -e .` for runtime only

Check the install

Open a Python shell and print the version:

python3 -c "import deepSTRF; print(deepSTRF.__version__)"
