Simulate multi-electrode array (mea) traces with neural ephysiological-like neural features for spike sorting testing

Simulate multi-electrode array traces

Code simulates the recorded activity of a population of neurons on a multi-electrode array. The design of these simulations incorporated realistic variations and noise characteristics seen in actual neural data. Designed for testing spike sorting algorithms.

NOTE

Code and documention in process of being made more user-friendly for publication and use.

Paper will be posted on bioRxiv soon, a previous version is available in my dissertation: https://hdl.handle.net/2144/19751
