Abstract

The advent of large-scale and high-density extracellular recording devices allows simultaneous recording from thousands of neurons. However, the complexity and size of the data makes it mandatory to develop robust algorithms for fully automated spike sorting. Here it is shown that limitations imposed by biological constraints such as changes in spike waveforms induced under different drug regimes should be carefully taken into consideration in future developments.
