This tutorial shows how neuroscientists can use MATLAB to analyze neural signals. This includes best practices on
1. reading in diverse neural data
2. representing time-series data
3. filtering, smoothing, resampling data
4. clustering waveforms using PCA and Gaussian mixture models
5. frequency domain and time-frequency analyses
For those new to programming, several steps can be achieved with the MATLAB Signal Analyzer App - a click-and-point interface that generates code.
For mid-level programmers, this tutorial can be the starting point for more complicated signal processing and analysis workflows
For experts, this is a good tutorial for teaching the basics of neural signal analyses
