Synthetic Simulations Of Extracellular Recordings (SSOER) Dataset

<p>This dataset contains synthetic data from simulations&nbsp;(for a total duration of 10 minutes) including the activity of one multi-unit and two single-units for different firing rates and signal-to-noise ratio levels. It is intended to be used as a standardized dataset&nbsp;to evaluate spike sorting algorithms.</p> <p>Recordings were&nbsp;taken using a sampling rate of 24 kHz, and are comprised of spikes from a database with 594 different average spike shapes, taken from real recordings from monkey neocortex and basal ganglia.</p> <p>This dataset is comprised of two files: <em>data.npy</em> and <em>labels.csv</em>.</p> <ul> <li><em>data.npy</em> contains&nbsp;14,400,000 sampled voltage values, from a single channel, taken at&nbsp;a sampling rate of&nbsp;24 kHz.&nbsp;</li> <li><em>labels.csv</em>&nbsp;contains the timestep, spike class, amplitude (SNR), and firing rate associated with each spiking event.</li> </ul> <p>The original samples used to construct this dataset where previously constructed and made available in [1]. This dataset is an amalgamation of&nbsp;simulation files, which were previously publicly accessible at:&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/engineering/research/bioengineering/neuroengineering-lab/software">http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/engineering/research/bioengineering/neuroengineering-lab/software</a>.
