Background:

Accurate neural spike detection and classification (spike sorting) is crucial for single-unit neuroscientific studies.
Existing spike sorters often struggle with accuracy, robustness to noise, user dependency, and real-time performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the M-Sorter, an automatic and robust system for neural spike detection and classification.
To present a novel spike sorting approach that prioritizes a high-performance detection algorithm.

Main Methods:

The M-Sorter utilizes a multiple correlation of wavelet coefficients (MCWC) detection algorithm.
Template matching is employed for the classification of detected neural spikes.
The system is designed for computational efficiency and reduced user dependency.
