A comparison of wavelet-based action potential detection from the NeuroAmp and the Iowa Bioengineering Nerve Traffic Analysis system

Abstract

The morphology of custom mother wavelets produced across laboratories using the NeuroAmp was highly similar, but distinct from the University of Iowa Bioengineering Nerve Traffic Analysis System. Although the number of action potentials detected was similar between collection systems and mother wavelets, the predictive value differed. Our data suggest action potential analysis using the continuous wavelet transform requires a mother wavelet optimized for the collection system.
