We implement Spikes_Link with Wave_clus as its spike sorter and used long-term simulated recordings with drifting neurons to validate the method, comparing its performance with the standard Wave_clus and Combinato. Spikes_Link obtained significantly better values for all the tested metrics: accuracy, recall, precision, number of additional classes, and Adjusted Rand Index. Currently, we are in the process of using real long-term recordings to fully validate the utility of the proposed method.
