I can view the traces just fine (though unless I am missing something, it is impossible to view the spike times - they are all crowded into a tiny box at the bottom).
When I try to do the spike sorting tutorial https://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/e-phys/SpikeSorting, I installed WaveClus using Brainstorm, clicked the Run bottom in the bottom left to open the Pipeline Editor, moused over Electrophysiology, and all of the options are grayed out.
The same happens when I try to load an NWB file I have.
When I try to click Unsupervised Spike Sorting > WaveClus anyway, I get a prompt with options but also a red Error message, which if I click says "Error: Data type mismatch. Invalid inputs for process "WaveClus""
How do I get spike sorting to work in Brainstorm? Thanks!
Actually I figured it out. I missed a critical step in the tutorial "users have to drag and drop the links to the raw files into the Files to process box, press RUN, and navigate to the Electrophysiology toolbox". Sorry about the noise!
New error! I can run WaveClus on the example plx file but double clicking "WaveClus Spike Sorting" in the left pane results in the error:

It looks like the issue might be with the NWB file reading and not the spike sorting. This is surprising because this file is a barebones NWB file with raw ecephys data. The only data it has are:
ElectricalSeries with raw data
Device
ElectrodeGroup
DynamicTable with electrodes
Subject
I work with the matnwb developers and can help resolve the issue, but I do not know anything about brainstorm internals to diagnose the issue further.
