A point process framework for relating neural spiking activity to spiking history, neural ensemble, and extrinsic covariate effects.
Multiple factors simultaneously affect the spiking activity of individual neurons. Determining the effects and relative importance of these factors is a challenging problem in neurophysiology. We propose a statistical framework based on the point process likelihood function to relate a neuron's spiking probability to three typical covariates: the neuron's own spiking history, concurrent ensembl...
متن کاملStochastic Models for Multivariate Neural Point Processes: Collective Dynamics and Neural Decoding
This chapter reviews a stochastic point process framework for the modeling, analysis and decoding of neuronal ensembles. The spiking probability of any neuron in an ensemble is computed recursively via a system of stochastic nonlinear equations with delays in discrete time. These equations are expressed in terms of conditional intensity functions, which capture the effects of the neuron’s own s...
متن کاملRobust Estimation of Sparse Narrowband Spectra from Binary Neuronal Spiking Data
Objective: Characterizing the spectral properties of neuronal responses is an important problem in computational neuroscience, as it provides insight into the spectral organization of the underlying functional neural processes. Although spectral analysis techniques are widely used in the analysis of noninvasive neural recordings such as EEG, their application to spiking data is limited due to t...
متن کاملA Granger Causality Measure for Point Process Models of Ensemble Neural Spiking Activity
The ability to identify directional interactions that occur among multiple neurons in the brain is crucial to an understanding of how groups of neurons cooperate in order to generate specific brain functions. However, an optimal method of assessing these interactions has not been established. Granger causality has proven to be an effective method for the analysis of the directional interactions...
متن کاملDiscrete- and Continuous-Time Probabilistic Models and Algorithms for Inferring Neuronal UP and DOWN States
UP and DOWN states, the periodic fluctuations between increased and decreased spiking activity of a neuronal population, are a fundamental feature of cortical circuits. Understanding UP-DOWN state dynamics is important for understanding how these circuits represent and transmit information in the brain. To date, limited work has been done on characterizing the stochastic properties of UP-DOWN s...
