 2. **File Path**: Always double-check the Python file path.
 3. **Data Type Consistency**: Ensure data types between MATLAB and Python are consistent. MATLAB's `double` is equivalent to Numpy's `float64`.
 4. **Sampling Frequency**: Set the appropriate sampling frequency in Hz for SpikeInterface.

 Using gains and offsets for integer data
 ----------------------------------------
 
 Raw data formats often store data as integer values for memory efficiency. To give these integers meaningful physical units, you can apply a gain and an offset.
-In SpikeInterface, you can use the `gain_to_uV` and `offset_to_uV` parameters, since traces are handled in microvolts (uV). Both parameters can be integrated into the `read_binary` function.
-If your data in MATLAB is stored as `int16`, and you know the gain and offset, you can use the following code to load the data:
