title: A simple method for reliable separation of cerebellar Purkinje cell complex and simple spikes.
abstract: During the analysis of cerebellar Purkinje cell firing the use of two level discriminators for the separation of complex spike (CS) and simple spike (SS) can produce "wrong SS-events", since the amplitude of the CS wavelets may exceed the discrimination level for the SS. This is also the case, when the initial spike of the CS is negatively deflected. A logic circuit was developed, which ensures reliable separation of the two types of spike by a mutual control of the two channels. The CS wavelet events are obtained via an additional channel.
