Hello!
I am having a bit of difficulty understanding the various parameters of ms4.alg and how they ultimately affect the firings.mda output file.
In particular, I do not understand the adjacency_radius flag and the implications of specifying the geom.csv file (see Issue #39). From my understanding, the adjacency_radius flag may be set to 0 to sort each channel independently or to -1 to indicate a single electrode neighborhood. However, I have been able to successfully run ms4.alg with adjacency_radius=1 without specifying the geom.csv file and the geom.csv file alters the clustering when adjacency_radius=0, even though it should not have an effect. The output of the firings.mda is written below for several conditions:

My question is should I not be seeing clusters shared across channels when adjacency_radius!=0? Why does specifying the geom.csv add a detected cluster when adjacency_radius=0? Should ms4.alg not raise an error when I run adjacency_radius=1 without specifying a geom.csv file?
Thank you for your help!
