Cochlear Neurofilament Tracer — HuggingFace Gradio app
======================================================

Traces auditory-nerve fibers (Neurofilament channel) in confocal z-stacks of
the organ of Corti, uses the Myo7a hair-cell channel to separate
IHC-innervating from OHC-innervating fibers, and reports per-region
quantification (number of fibers, diameter, length, branch points, area
covered) plus a black-background skeleton image and an Excel workbook.

Accepts Zeiss **CZI** z-stacks and generic **TIFF** stacks.

# 🧠 Cochlear Neurofilament Tracer

Trace auditory-nerve fibers in confocal z-stacks and quantify them **per
frequency region**, separating **IHC-innervating** from **OHC-innervating**
fibers using the Myo7a hair-cell channel.

**Channels expected:** *Neurofilament* (traces the neuron) and *Myo7a* (hair
cells — reference to split IHC vs OHC). IHCs form a single row, OHCs form three
rows, so the Myo7a band is used to place the IHC/OHC boundary — which you can
fine-tune by hand.

**Input:** Zeiss `.czi` z-stacks or generic `.tif/.tiff` stacks.
