Performance on short duration recordings? #221

Closed HealeyLab closed 4 years ago

HealeyLab commented 4 years ago

I am trying to connect neurons from one recording to another recording, where the first recording is ~1hr long and the second recording is often less than a minute long. I am worried that when I sort the shorter recording (with the same parameters as the longer one), the spike count is artificially low for neurons with low firing rates. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Maybe concatenate the files first then spike sort then separate spikes by which original file they were in - if you need them separated
