Cross nearest-spike interval based method to measure synchrony dynamics.
A new synchrony index for neural activity is defined in this paper. The method is able to measure synchrony dynamics in low firing rate scenarios. It is based on the computation of the time intervals between nearest spikes of two given spike trains. Generalized additive models are proposed for the synchrony profiles obtained by this method. Two hypothesis tests are proposed to assess for differ...
متن کاملDissociable Effects of Dopamine on Neuronal Firing Rate and Synchrony in the Dorsal Striatum
Previous studies showed that dopamine depletion leads to both changes in firing rate and in neuronal synchrony in the basal ganglia. Since dopamine D1 and D2 receptors are preferentially expressed in striatonigral and striatopallidal medium spiny neurons, respectively, we investigated the relative contribution of lack of D1 and/or D2-type receptor activation to the changes in striatal firing ra...
متن کاملNeuronal firing in human epileptic cortex: the ins and outs of synchrony during seizures.
Commentary Epileptic seizures propagate extensively across the brain. The associated electrophysiological mass phenomena can be captured by scalp or intracranial electroencephalography. Recent evidence shows the initiating mechanisms of seizures operate at the smaller scale of neuronal ensembles, producing phenomena such as high-frequency oscillations (1, 2) and microseizures (3, 4) that are be...
متن کاملAudiovisual Speech Synchrony Measure: Application to Biometrics
Speech is a means of communication which is intrinsically bimodal: the audio signal originates from the dynamics of the articulators. This paper reviews recent works in the field of audiovisual speech, and more specifically techniques developed to measure the level of correspondence between audio and visual speech. It overviews the most common audio and visual speech front-end processing, trans...
متن کاملAstrocytes orchestrate neuronal synchrony
Astrocytes orchestrate neuronal synchrony stroctyes are known to modulate synaptic communication between neurons. Now, colleagues report that astrocytes can elicit slow inward currents outside of synapses and thus activate synchronous responses in multiple neurons. During periods of intense neural activity, calcium oscillations are triggered in astrocytes, inducing the cells to release glutamat...
