Abstract :
A new method for adaptive threshold setting is implemented and used in two threshold-based spike detectors: simple threshold and nonlinear energy operator. Detection quality assessment is performed using both a set of artificially generated signals and a real neural recording. Receiver operating curves are obtained and results show that, compared to fix threshold adaptive threshold setting yields performance improvement.
