An automatic spike sorting algorithm based on adaptive spike detection and a mixture of skew-t distributions

Abstract Developing high-density electrodes for recording large ensembles of neurons provides a unique opportunity for understanding the mechanism of the neuronal circuits. Nevertheless, the change of brain tissue around chronically implanted neural electrodes usually causes spike wave-shape distort...
