MatClust

Spike sorting program for extracellular recordings. Version 1.4

You are now following this Submission

GUI program that runs in Matlab and allows the user to draw polygons or boxes around multidimensional data points. This 'clustering' of data is used often for multi-electrode recordings of neural data. The program has been tested on Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms.

Features:
-Manual 2D clustering with polygons
-Interface for custom semi-automated sorting code
-3D rotation of feature space
-Filtering of points to precisely define each polygon’s scope
-Easy to use interface (context menus, undo states, zooming and panning)

Requires a mex compiler (free) for setup. If you don't have one, see here for easy instructions:
