The recent release of the initial version of Neuroscience Experiments System (NES), an open-source tool to manage clinical data gathered in hospitals and research institutions, has attracted wide media interest. The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (FAPESP’s CEPID NeuroMat) software development team has created and continue working on this technology. The release of NES was the object of the previous edition of NeuroMat’s newsletter, here.

How do we distinguish the activity of one or more neurons in a set of recorded neural activity? How do we assign spikes to different neurons? What mathematical, computational tools are available to sort spikes? These questions, among others, informed a three-day-long training on spike sorting that FAPESP's Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (CEPID NeuroMat) hosted in São Paulo at the end of November (25-27), with Prof. Christian Pouzat, a researcher of the Applied Maths Laboratory of the Paris-Descartes University and a specialist in spike sorting.

A series of lectures on spike sorting, that were provided in the context of NeuroMat's training "Spike sorting: What is it? Why do we need it? Where does it come from? How is it done? How to interpret it?,". Lecturer: Prof. Christophe Pouzat, a CNRS researcher of the Applied Maths Laboratory of the Paris-Descartes University and a specialist in spike sorting.
