Spike Sorting/Evidence
Method evidence record

Spike Sorting

Spike sorting is an electrophysiological technique for identifying and isolating action potentials of individual neurons from extracellular electrical recordings. Central to single-unit neurophysiology, spike sorting assigns spikes recorded on electrode arrays to their neuron of origin, enabling study of individual neuron firing patterns, timing, and network interactions with single-cell resolution.
