Abstract

Spike sorting is a standard preprocessing step to obtain ensembles of single unit data from multiunit, multichannel recordings in neuroscience. However, more recently, some researchers have started doing analyses directly on the unsorted data. Here we present a new computational model that is an extension of the standard (unsupervised) switching Poisson hidden Markov model (where observations are time-binned spike counts from each of N neurons), to a clusterless approximation in which we observe only a d-dimensional mark for each spike. Such an unsupervised yet clusterless approach has the potential to incorporate more information than is typically available from spike-sorted approaches, and to uncover temporal structure in neural data without access to behavioral correlates. We show that our approach can recover model parameters from simulated data, and that it can uncover task-relevant structure from real neural data.
