+# Project title: support for SiNAPS probes and data formats
+
+### Key Investigators
+
+* Nina Kudryashova
+* Matteo Vincenzi
+* Alessio ?
+
+## Project Description
+
+Add support for SiNAPS probes (via probeinterface), data formats (partially done with *.bin and *.h5 extractors for SiNAPS). 
+Potentially: check drift and drift correction for these probes. 
+
+### Background
+
+SiNAPS probes are high-channel count, active electrodes, similar to other silicon active probes available and popular today (E.g., NeuroPixels)[^1]. They are currently not supported by Spikeinterface, but we started developing data extractors for the probe.
+
+### Objectives
+
+- [ ] Add support for SiNAPS data formats
+- [ ] Add support for SiNAPS research probes
+- [ ] Add tools for addressing SiNAPS-specific issues (e.g. amplification artefacts)
+- [ ] Bad channel detection
+- [ ] Drift correction
+
+### Approach and Plan
+
+- [ ] Test the extractors
+- [ ] Test probeinterface probes and add to spikeinterface
+- [ ] Discuss SiNAPS-specific amplification artefacts and approaches to masking them out for SI
+- [ ] Analyse drift and drift correction on these large probes?
