An improved system for single unit isolation from multiunit nerve recordings by velocity analysis.
A system for recording and decomposition of complex extracellular spike trains by analog computing is presented. Unlike other systems, it is not necessary to establish templates for the analysis. Rather by adjustments of a single knob, the velocity band can be adjusted. The velocity measurement can be made to a precision of better than 1%, where the velocity jitter in individual spikes of a unit becomes apparent. Spike trains on the connective of a stick insect are analyzed which occur during an intersegmental reflex, the CLP reflex.
