Nerve Cell Spike Train Data Analysis: A Progression of Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Collections of occurrence times of events taking place irregularly in time provide a fairly common, but not broadly discussed, ata type. This article is concerned with the particular circumstance offiring times in nerve cells that interact and form networks. The article reviews a progression fstatistical nalysis techniques: description, association as measured by moments and correlation, regression, and finally likelihood. The data is point process, but may be seen as that of regression a d of multivariate analysis in standard parlance. A simple description fdata collected simultaneously for one or more cells is provided.

Multiscale spike train variability in primary electrosensory afferents.
Spike train variability is of fundamental importance for understanding how information is encoded and processed in the nervous system. Most studies in this area have focused on short-term variability, as characterized by the coefficient of variation of the interspike interval distribution. Here we discuss the importance of extending the analysis of spike train variability to longer time scales ...
متن کاملEstimating the number of neurons in multi-neuronal spike trains
A common way of studying the relationship between neural activity and behavior is through the analysis of neuronal spike trains that are recorded using one or more electrodes implanted in the brain. Each spike train typically contains spikes generated by multiple neu-rons. A natural question that arises is " what is the number of neu-rons ν generating the spike train? " This article proposes a ...
متن کاملThe correlation grid: analysis of synchronous spiking in multi-dimensional spike train data and identification of feasible connection architectures.
This paper presents a visualization technique specifically designed to support the analysis of synchronous firings in multiple, simultaneously recorded, spike trains. This technique, called the correlation grid, enables investigators to identify groups of spike trains, where each pair of spike trains has a high probability of generating spikes approximately simultaneously or within a constant t...

متن کاملA new method of spike modelling and interval analysis.
Here we develop a new model of spike firing, based on the leaky integrate and fire model, modified to simulate afterpotentials. We also develop new analysis techniques, applying these to recorded and model generated data in order to make a comparative analysis and develop the model as a hypothesis for the functional components of the neuron. The model is based in this first instance on hypothal...
