The units' shanks (`electrode_group`) and stored waveform channels fit the wide-band signal under one fixed map of columns, the same in all 4 mice (a map from three mice gives the column of a unit's largest spike for 78% to 89% of units in the fourth, against 5% to 13% for the table), so the error is in the table, whose blocks of 8 rows do not match the probe's columns." }, { "kind": "metadata_insufficient", "statement": "The stored spike waveforms are about 5 times larger than the same spikes in the wide-band signal (median peak-to-peak 421 against 81 uV, 300 Hz high-pass), and their filtering and scaling are not described. They match the wide-band spike best after a 300 Hz high-pass (median correlation 0.987, against 0.981 unfiltered and 0.867 at 800 Hz), with a gain of 5.08, close to 5.13, the inverse of the wide-band conversion of 0.195 uV per count, which is consistent with waveforms stored in ADC counts and read as microvolts. Each holds 1.6 ms with the trough at 0.8 ms, which cuts off the peak of 43% of GC, 67% of MC and 78% of CA3 waveforms." } ], "verifications": [ { "date": "2026-10-16", "kind": "agent", "by": "Independent agent run by CatalystNeuro (same harness, separate context, did not write the notebook)", "reviewed": "Round 1.
