Abstract
Appropriate detection of clean signal segments in extracellular microelectrode recordings (MER) is vital for maintaining high signal-to-noise ratio in MER studies. Existing alternatives to manual signal inspection are based on unsupervised change-point detection.
We present a method of supervised MER artifact classification, based on power spectral density (PSD) and evaluate its performance on a database of 95 labelled MER signals. The proposed method yielded test-set accuracy of 90%, which was close to the accuracy of annotation (94%).
The unsupervised methods achieved accuracy of about 77% on both training and testing data
