Popis: Objective Extraction of temporal features of neuronal activity from electrophysiological data can be used for accurate classification of neural networks in healthy and pathologically perturbed conditions. In this study, we provide an extensive approach for the classification of human in vitro neural networks with and without an underlying pathology, from electrophysiological recordings obtained using a microelectrode array (MEA) platform. Approach We developed a Dirichlet mixture (DM) Point Process statistical model able to extract temporal features related to neurons. We then applied a machine learning algorithm to discriminate between healthy control and pathologically perturbed in vitro neural networks. Main Results We found a high degree of separability between the classes using DM point process features (p-value
