What is Klusters?
Klusters is a powerful and easy-to-use cluster cutting application designed to help neurophysiologists sort action potentials recorded from multiple neurons on groups of electrodes (e.g., tetrodes or multisite silicon probes).

Klusters is part of a larger data analysis framework, including NeuroScope (advanced viewer for electrophysiological and behavioral data) and other utilities which are currently under development.

Klusters was developed by Lynn Hazan in G. Buzsáki's lab (CMBN, Rutgers Newark, USA).

What is cluster cutting?
Neurophysiological experiments investigating the functional properties of neuronal networks involve recording brain signals with large numbers of electrodes. Because each of the electrodes used in these experiments generally records from multiple neurons, the first step before analyzing the data is to sort out the action potentials emitted by each individual neuron. Hence, each putative action potential or "spike" must be grouped together with other spikes that are thought to belong to the same neuron. Such a group of spikes is referred to as a "cluster", and the whole process of sorting out the action potentials is thus known as "spike sorting" or "cluster cutting".

How is Klusters distributed?
Klusters is a free software distributed under the General Public License (GPL).

Who uses Klusters?
Klusters is actively used to analyze neuronal recordings from hippocampus and cortex in G. Buzsáki's lab (CMBN, Rutgers Newark, USA).
