SpikeGLX

SpikeGLX recording format

• Signed 16-bit integer
• ADC samples from channels 1 to n sampled at time k is stored together in series. Suppose a_b stands for an ADC sample from channel a at time step b, then the channel ordering from time step 1 to k is:

[1_1, 2_1, ..., n_1], [1_2, 2_2, ..., n_2], ..., [1_k, 2_k, ..., n_k]

• Recording format such as the sampling rate and number of channels stored is saved in .meta file (e.g. if the recordings are stored in sample.bin, the meta file is stored in sample.meta in the same folder).
• JRCLUST reads subset of meta file tags to construct a .prm file. For more information, visit SpikeGLX documention on Github.
