Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biophysics
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Fluctuating DC baselines are common in sensory receptor recordings.
  • Accurate detection of action potentials is crucial for understanding neural activity.

  • To enable real-time signal acquisition with minimal waveform distortion.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a software algorithm implemented in Fortran and Assembly language.
  • Detected spikes by comparing the low-pass filtered first derivative of the signal with a threshold constant.
