Spike sorting software, source code and examples


Neurobot shares spike sorting software and algorithms including MATLAB functions and examples. See here for details



Wave_clus is a fast and unsupervised algorithm for spike detection and sorting. Although it gives a first unsupervised solution, this can be further modified according to the experimenter’s preference (semi-automatic sorting).

“Offline spike sorting approaches are currently used to detect and sort action potentials after finishing the experiment. Because the opportunities to record from the human brain are relatively rare, it is desirable to analyze large numbers of simultaneous recordings quickly using online sorting and detection algorithms. In this way, the experiment can be optimized for the particular response properties of the recorded neurons.”

Multiple electrodes are now a standard tool in neuroscience research that make it possible to study the simultaneous activity of several neurons in a given brain region or across different regions. The data from multi-electrode studies present important analysis challenges that must be resolved for optimal use of these neurophysiological measurements to answer questions about how the brain works.
