Abstract

Identifying spike timing of individual neurons recorded simultaneously is essential for investigating the neuronal circuits that underlie cognitive functions. Recent developments allow the simultaneous recording of multi-channel extracellular spikes from hundreds of neurons. Yet classifying extracellular spikes into putative source neurons remains a challenge. Here, we set out to develop a fully automated algorithm which can replace manual curation for an existing multi-channel spike sorting solution. As an input to the automated curator (AC), we use KlustaKwik to over-cluster the spikes automatically, yielding numerous spike clusters. From that point onwards, we refer to spike sorting not as a clustering problem, but rather as a sequence of two binary classification problems. To perform automatic curation, we first use a “noise classifier” to remove non-neuronal clusters. Second, we use a “merge classifier” to determine whether any given pair of clusters should be merged. The output of the AC is a set of well-isolated units.
