Spike Sorting • Goal: Extract neural spike trains from MEA electrode data • Method 1: Convolution of template spikes • Method 2: Sort by spikes features
Cluster Cutting • Advantages: • Better separation • Requires less information • Disadvantages • Computationally intensive
Selected Features • Max peak height • Voltage difference between max and second max • Sum of max positive and max negative peaks • Time between max positive and max negative peaks • Max width of a polarization
Features • Max peak height-- Color • Voltage difference between max and second max -- Z-axis • Sum of max positive and max negative peaks -- Y-axis • Time between max positive and max negative peaks -- X-axis • Max width of a polarization -- Size
Future Direction • Optimal feature choice • Training algorithm • Bayesian clustering • Nearest neighbor • Support Vector Machine • Neural Network
Conclusion • Data suggests we should be able to isolate individual neural firing patterns from MEA data • Use MEA data to model and study network of neurons in culture
