Axon_Initial_Segmen​t_Identifier(path,i​c_signal,ec_signal)

Function to identify the axon initial segment from dendrites using electrophysiological recording

*function [fileNames]=Axon_Initial_Segment_Identifier(path,ic_signal,ec_signal);
Loads a folder of combined patch and extra cellular recordings and returns names of recordings corresponding to the axon initial segment
The recordings used for the script are 100 ms long with a 20 ms pre-trigger duration sampled at 100 kHz.
Requires the use of abfload.m
