  • Utilized simulated and in-vivo tetrode multichannel recordings.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed Laplacian eigenmaps and k-means method achieved a mean sorting accuracy of 73% with 10% error.
    • This significantly outperformed PCA combined with k-means, which had 58% accuracy and 10% error.
    • The study evaluated both k-means and classification expectation-maximization classifiers.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed spike sorting method demonstrates superior performance.
    • Laplacian eigenmaps combined with k-means clustering is an effective approach for automatic spike sorting.
    • This advancement can enhance the analysis of neural recordings.
