Analysis of that information toward the identification and discrimination of activity events (spikes) from different neurons, termed Spike Sorting (SS Gibson et al., 2012), is a multi-step, computationally expensive process, thus limiting its application on wireless technologies that would enable experiments under more ecological conditions ( Rey et al., 2015).

Neural prosthetics ( Gilja et al., 2012), Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs Schwarz et al., 2014 Moxon and Foffani, 2015), and neurophysiology experiments ( de Lavilléon et al., 2015) are some of the areas where multiple electrodes are routinely used to extract neuronal-activity related information.

Multi-electrode arrays comprise one of the most valuable tools for neuroscience research ( Buzsáki, 2004).
