Unsupervised spike detection and sorting with wavelets and superparamagnetic clustering

TL;DR: A new method for detecting and sorting spikes from multiunit recordings that combines the wave let transform with super paramagnetic clustering, which allows automatic classification of the data without assumptions such as low variance or gaussian distributions is introduced.

Bayesian Computation and Stochastic Systems

TL;DR: Basic methodology of MCMC is presented, emphasizing the Bayesian paradigm, conditional probability and the intimate relationship with Markov random fields in spatial statistics, and particular emphasis on the calculation of posterior probabilities.

Applications of Monte Carlo methods to statistical physics

TL;DR: An introductory review of the Monte Carlo method for the statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems is given in this paper, where basic principles (random number generation, simple sampling versus importance sampling, Markov chains and master equations) are explained and some classical applications (self-avoiding walks, percolation, the Ising model) are sketched.
