This paper assesses and challenges whether commonly used methods for defining amplitude thresholds for spike detection are optimal. This is achieved through empirical testing of single amplitude thresholds across multiple recordings of varying SNR levels. Our results suggest that the most widely used noise-statistics-driven threshold can suffer from parameter deviation in different noise levels. The spike-noise-driven threshold can be an ideal approach to set the threshold for spike detection, which suffers less from the parameter deviation and is robust to sub-optimal settings.
