N-Trode Groups
An N-Trode is a set of electrode channels that are defined by the user. N-Trodes are often used in electrophysiology
to record extracellular field potentials and spikes. The bundle of electrodes can record signals from an overlapping
population of neurons and therefore it can be used as a powerful tool to enhance spike sorting.
In Central, the user can have multiple N-Trode sets. Each N-Trode set can contain up to 4 electrodes. When using a
multi electrode array or an electrode shank with multiple recording sites, this software allows the user to define the
single channels associated to the multiple recording points and perform sorting on the N-Trode as an entity. To
define N-Trode groups open a group and double click on available channels to assign them to a group. Press OK to
save changes.
