The\nmethod combines the wavelet transform, which localizes distinctive\nspike features, with Super-Paramagnetic Clustering (SPC) algorithm,\nwhich allows automatic classification of the data without assumptions\nsuch as low variance or Gaussian distributions. Moreover, the method\nis capable of setting amplitude thresholds for spike detection. The\nmethod makes use of several real EEG data sets, and accordingly the\nspikes are detected, clustered and their times were detected.","references":"[1] M.
