The Computational Structure of Spike Trains
Neurons perform computations, and convey the results of those computations through the statistical structure of their output spike trains. Here we present a practical method, grounded in the information-theoretic analysis of prediction, for inferring a minimal representation of that structure and for characterizing its complexity. Starting from spike trains, our approach finds their causal stat...
متن کاملInformation and Statistical Structure in Spike Trains
One of the most challenging and fascinating problems in science is deciphering how neural systems encode information. Mathematical models are critical in any effort to determine how neural systems represent and transmit information. Such mathematical approaches span a wide range, which may be divided approximately into two kinds of research activities. The first kind of activity uses detailed b...
متن کاملAuto-structure of Presynaptic Activity Defines Postsynaptic Firing Statistics and Can Modulate STDP-Based Structure Formation and Learning
In this paper we study the impact of presynaptic activity that is deviating from Poissonian firing onto the postsynaptic firing of an conductance based integrate and fire neuron. We first show that the compound activity of a large group of neurons, e.g. presynaptic cells, cannot be described by a Poisson process in general. Then we demonstrate that the auto-structure of the presynaptic drive ha...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Analysis of Connection Structure from Spike Trains
We have attempted to use information theoretic quantities for analyzing neuronal connection structure from spike trains. Two point mu tual information and its maximum value, channel capacity, between a pair of neurons were found to be useful for sensitive detection of crosscorrelation and for estimation of synaptic strength, respectively. Three point mutual information among three neurons could...
متن کاملThe structure and precision of retinal spike trains.
Assessing the reliability of neuronal spike trains is fundamental to an understanding of the neural code. We measured the reproducibility of retinal responses to repeated visual stimuli. In both tiger salamander and rabbit, the retinal ganglion cells responded to random flicker with discrete, brief periods of firing. For any given cell, these firing events covered only a small fraction of the t...
