Abstract

Background: Single-sensillum recordings are a valuable tool for sensory research which, by their nature, access extra-cellular signals typically reflecting the combined activity of several co-housed sensory neurons. However, isolating the contribution of an individual neuron through spike-sorting has remained a major challenge due to firing rate-dependent changes in spike shape and the overlap of co-occurring spikes from several neurons. These challenges have so far made it close to impossible to investigate the responses to more complex, mixed odour stimuli.

New method: Here we present SSSort 2.0, a method and software addressing both problems through automated and semi-automated signal processing. We have also developed a method for more objective validation of spike sorting methods based on generating surrogate ground truth data and we have tested the practical effectiveness of our software in a user study.

Results: We find that SSSort 2.0 typically matches or exceeds the performance of expert manual spike sorting. We further demonstrate that, for novices, accuracy is much better with SSSort 2.0 under most conditions.

Conclusion: Overall, we have demonstrated that spike-sorting with SSSort 2.0 software can automate data processing of SSRs with accuracy levels comparable to, or above, expert manual performance.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Neuroscience Methods publishes papers that describe new methods that are specifically for neuroscience research conducted in invertebrates, vertebrates or in man. Major methodological improvements or important refinements of established neuroscience methods are also considered for publication. The Journal''s Scope includes all aspects of contemporary neuroscience research, including anatomical, behavioural, biochemical, cellular, computational, molecular, invasive and non-invasive imaging, optogenetic, and physiological research investigations.
