Detects spikes in continuous data and packages them as events that can be read by downstream processors.
To initialize the spike detector, you must configure the electrode layout. Here are the steps to follow:
Once the electrode layout has been configured, the Spike Viewer will automatically update the layout of its spike plots. Within the Spike Viewer, you can change a second threshold to filter incoming spikes by peak height. This threshold is completely independent of the one in the Spike Detector, so we recommend setting a low threshold in the Spike Detector, then configuring the Spike Viewer threshold by eye. Only spikes that are above the Spike Viewer threshold will be displayed and saved to disk.
Number and types of electrodes, names of electrodes, channel mapping, and threshold values.
It's currently impossible to change the settings for multiple channels at once. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
