In this paper, a comparative study of methods for classification of neuronal action potentials is performed, namely, the standard Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and techniques based on the wavelet-transform. It is shown that there are at least two caseswhen the wavelet-based approaches have advantages: 1) the presence of a small-scale structure in the shapes of spikes, and 2) the presence of slow noise of high intensity. It is stated that the quality of spike-sorting can be increased by signal’s filtering. The problem of choosing optimal wavelet-coefficients for spike classification is discussed. Proposed method is based on combination of the PCA and the wavelet-transform. Main idea of the method consists in the estimation of typical spike waveforms and in the use of those wavelet-coefficients that provide maximal distinctions between the chosen waveforms. The suggested approach allows us to reduce classification errors.
