Abstract
A method is provided for determining a threshold () for spike () detection in an electrophysiological signal (). The method comprises a step of determining an estimated envelope () of the electrophysiological signal (), a step of, based on the estimated envelope (), determining an estimated Gaussian noise, a step of determining a distribution () of instantaneous amplitudes of the estimated Gaussian noise, a step of determining a mode () of the distribution () of instantaneous amplitudes, and determining the threshold () based on the mode () of the distribution () of instantaneous amplitudes.
