摘要
A method for extracting single-unit spike trains from extracellular recordings containing the activity of several simultaneously active cells is presented. The technique is particularly effective when spikes overlap temporally. It is capable of identifying the exact number of neurons contributing to a recording and of creating reliable spike templates. The procedure is based on fuzzy clustering and its performance is controlled by minimizing a cluster-validity index which optimizes the compactness and separation of the identified clusters. Application examples with synthetic spike trains generated from real spikes and segments of background noise show the advantage of the fuzzy method over conventional template-creation approaches in a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios.
