Spike Acquisition Entity Overview

Spike acquisition entities will detect specific signals from the incoming neurological data.  If these specific signals are found on any of the electrodes related to this spike acquisition entity, the signal found will be extracted from the incoming signal on all electrodes related to this spike acquisition entity, and saved to a spike record.  The criteria used to detect and classify spikes are configurable in __prod_name.  Spike classification (sometimes referred to as cluster cutting) can be done by using the SpikeSort 3D application.  Spikes are sometimes referred to as single units.  Spike acquisition entities can be created as single electrodes (SE), stereotrodes (ST, two electrodes), or tetrodes (TT, four electrodes).  Spike acquisition entities must be created from __prod_name commands; see the spike acquisition entity commands link below for more information.
