Spike sorting with Kilosort4 - Nature Methods

Kilosort4 is a spike-sorting algorithm with improved performance compared to previous versions, owing to the use of a graph-based clustering approach. The tool extracts the activity of individual neurons from electrophysiological recordings acquired with, for example, Neuropixels electrodes.
