A Volterra filter for neuronal spike detection
نویسنده
چکیده
The spike detection problem is cast into a delay estimation. Using elementary operational calculus, we obtain an explicit characterization of the spike locations, in terms of short time window iterated integrals of the noisy signal. From this characterization, we derive a joint spike detection and localization system where the decision function is implemented as the output of a digital Volterra filter. Simulation results using experimental data shows that the method compares favorably with one of the most successful one in the litterature.

Automatic extracellular spike detection with piecewise optimal morphological filter
Neuronal spike detection is a technical challenge because of large amounts of background noise and contributions of many neurons to recorded signals. In this paper, we propose an automatic spike detection algorithm in which piecewise optimal morphological filters are designed to separate action potentials (spikes) from background noise. The structure elements of morphological filters are struct...
متن کاملGeometrical properties of optimal Volterra filters for signal detection
Absfrucf -Volterra filters are a particular class of nonlinear filters defined by an extension of the concept of impulse response to the nonlinear case. Linear-quadratic filters are a special example of Volterra filters limited to the second order. In the first part of this paper it is shown that all the results recently published, valid in the linear-quadratic case, can be extended with the ap...
متن کاملAn algorithm for real-time extraction of population EPSP and population spike amplitudes from hippocampal field potential recordings.
A new method is presented for extracting the amplitude of excitatory post synaptic potentials (EPSPs) and spikes in real time. It includes a low pass filter (LPF), a differentiator, a threshold function, and an intelligent integrator. It was applied to EPSP and population spike data recorded in the Dentate Gyrus and the CA1 hippocampus in vitro. The accuracy of the extraction algorithm was eval...
متن کاملVolterra filters for quantum estimation and detection
The implementation of optimal statistical inference protocols for high-dimensional quantum systems is often computationally expensive. To avoid the difficulties associated with optimal techniques, here I propose an alternative approach to quantum estimation and detection based on Volterra filters. Volterra filters have a clear hierarchy of computational complexities and performances, depend onl...
متن کاملAn Unsupervised and Drift-Adaptive Spike Detection Algorithm Based on Hybrid Blind Beamforming
In the case of extracellular recordings, spike detection algorithms are necessary in order to retrieve information about neuronal activity from the data. We present a new spike detection algorithm which is based on methods from the field of blind equalization and beamforming and which is particularly adapted to the specific signal structure neuronal data exhibit. In contrast to existing approac...
