Description

It would be nice if I could jump in the trace view to the next spike with interval to the spike afterwards shorter than the refractory period that is set in the correlogram view.
I have clusters with RPV due to, in most cases, detecting artifacts or spikes from other cells, which should be excluded from the cluster. To check the trace where RPV is happening, currently I have to navigate through the trace with "Go to next spike". Do you think it makes sense to have such a function and would it be feasible to make it?

Research direction

Start by reading the existing trace-view “Go to next spike” navigation and how the correlogram view stores or exposes its refractory-period setting. Implement the navigation so it selects the next spike whose interval to the following spike is shorter than that setting. Done means the trace jumps to matching RPV events and preserves the existing navigation behavior otherwise.
