Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help that is displayed in Matlab when you type “help ft_read_spike”.

  FT_READ_SPIKE reads spike timestamps and waveforms from various data
  formats.
 
  Use as
   [spike] = ft_read_spike(filename, ...)
 
  Additional options should be specified in key-value pairs and can be
    'spikeformat' = string, described the fileformat (default is automatic)
 
  The following file formats are supported
    'mclust_t'
    'neuralynx_ncs' 
    'neuralynx_nse'
    'neuralynx_nst'
    'neuralynx_ntt'
    'neuralynx_nts'
    'plexon_ddt'
    'plexon_nex'
    'plexon_plx'
    'neuroshare'
 
  The output spike structure usually contains
    spike.label     = 1xNchans cell-array, with channel labels
    spike.waveform  = 1xNchans cell-array, each element contains a matrix (Nsamples X Nspikes)
    spike.timestamp = 1xNchans cell-array, each element contains a vector (1 X Nspikes)
    spike.unit      = 1xNchans cell-array, each element contains a vector (1 X Nspikes)
  and is described in more detail in FT_DATATYPE_SPIKE
