ZyON: Enabling Spike Sorting on APSoC-Based Signal Processors for High-Density Microelectrode Arrays

Abstract: Multi-Electrode Arrays and High-Density Multi-Electrode Arrays of sensors are a key instrument in neuroscience research. Such devices are evolving to provide ever-increasing temporal and spatial resolution, paving the way to unprecedented results when it comes to understanding the behaviour of neuronal networks and interacting with them. However, in some experimental cases, in-place lowlatency processing of the sensor data acquired by the arrays is required. This poses the need for highperformance embedded com… Show more

“…A uC is used in [22] for implementing a low-cost neural interface solution for EEGbased neural decoding during a hand open/close/idle state classification task using a Bayesian classifier. Although several hardware solutions have been proposed for intracortical neural signal processing, most of them stop at the spike detection phase [25] or at the spike sorting phase [26]. Similarly, among numerous existing SNN accelerators, some are oriented to understand the brain functionalities, exploiting either FPGA-based prototypes [27], or higherend emulators such as SpiNNaker [28].…”

“…However, FPGA programming or chip design is a highly involved process requiring specialized skills. So far, on-chip spike sorting systems have only used single-channel waveform features [27][28][29][30][31][32] or been implemented with a simplified multichannel waveform clustering algorithm 33,34 . Evidence underscores the need for sophisticated algorithms [35][36][37] or even manual curation 38 to separate multichannel spike waveform features from individual neurons and from noise.…”

“…The design delivers flexibility speed, assigning single-neuron identities to all detected single-spikes with 1-millisecond latency across 160 channels 39 , and has recently been deployed in online experiments 40 . Unlike prior reports [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] , our platform accommodates multichannel spike waveforms and is compatible with tetrodes and silicon probes, while enabling modern clustering algorithms and manual curation for crafting accurate spike-sorted models. To abstract the hardware complexities, we provide a backend Application Programming Interface (API) and frontend modular Graphical User Interface (GUI) components for intuitive data visualization, data management, model curation, and FPGA-NSP status control.…”

“…These kinds of tools can help the investigation of how neurons interact with each other, even though more and more often they are also exploited to address completely different problems, such as neuromorphic computing [3]. New generation High-Density Multielectrode Array, scaled from hundreds to thousands of recording sites [4], pushing for the development of signal processing systems capable of sorting order of magnitude more neural data in real-time than in the past [5], and artificial neural networks capable to keep up and process the incoming data. This translates into an imminent demand for bigger and more-connected neural networks.…”
