Abstract

BACKGROUND: Damage to the hippocampus will result in the loss of ability to form new long-term memories and cognitive disorders. At present, there is no effective medical treatment for this issue. Hippocampal cognitive prosthesis is proposed to replace damaged regions of the hippocampus to mimic the function of original biological tissue. This prosthesis requires a spike sorter to detect and classify spikes in the recorded neural signal.
