Spike sorting performance with increasing number of neurons. The mean detection performance is shown as a function of the number of single units present in the simulation. (A) Average number of hits. (B) Average number of misses (black) and false positives (dashed gray). For the misses, the dotted gray line in B shows the linear function y = x − 8; i.e. a line parallel to the diagonal but displaced 8, the maximum number of neurons detected. Bars denote s.e.m.
