+detecta is a Python module to detect events in data.
+
+The following functions are implemented in detecta:
+* detect_peaks.py: detects peaks in data based on their amplitude and other
+  features.
+* detect_onset.py: detects onset in data based on amplitude threshold.
+* detect_cusum.py: detects abrupt changes in data using cumulative sum algorithm
+  (CUSUM).
+* detect_seq.py: detects initial and final indices of sequential data identical
+  to a parameter.
