The Hair Cell Analysis Toolbox originally was a collection of software tools for detecting viable hair cells, classifying type, and generating cochleograms automatically. Originally shipping with a small graphical user interface, we have vastly improved the capabilities of HCAT with a new GUI.
This gui comes with two important new features - 1. The ability to correct poor model detections and 2. the ability to perform automated detection on multi piece dissections!
