A Rate and History-Preserving Resampling Algorithm for Neural Spike Trains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resampling methods are popular tools for exploring the statistical structure of neural spike trains. In many applications, it is desirable to have resamples that preserve certain non-Poisson properties, like refractory periods and bursting, and that are also robust to trial-to-trial variability. Pattern jitter is a resampling technique that accomplishes this by preserving the recent spiking history of all spikes and constraining resampled spikes to remain close to their original positions. The resampled spike times are maximally random up to these constraints. Dynamic programming is used to create an efficient resampling algorithm.

متن کاملNon-parametric signi cance estimation of joint-spike events by shu&ing and resampling
The ‘unitary event’ analysis method was designed to analyze multiple parallel spike trains for correlated activity. The null-hypothesis assumes Poissonian spike train statistics, however experimental data may fail to be consistent with this assumption. Here we present a non-parametrical signi cance test that considers the original spike train structure of experimental data. The signi cance of c...
متن کاملDigital spiking neuron and its learning for approximation of various spike-trains
A digital spiking neuron is a wired system of shift registers and can generate various spike-trains by adjusting the wiring pattern. In this paper we analyze the basic relations between the wiring pattern and characteristics of the spike-train. Based on the relations, we present a learning algorithm which utilizes successive changes of the wiring pattern. It is shown that the neuron can reprodu...
متن کاملInferring Neural Firing Rates from Spike Trains Using Gaussian Processes
Neural spike trains present challenges to analytical efforts due to their noisy, spiking nature. Many studies of neuroscientific and neural prosthetic importance rely on a smoothed, denoised estimate of the spike train’s underlying firing rate. Current techniques to find time-varying firing rates require ad hoc choices of parameters, offer no confidence intervals on their estimates, and can obs...
متن کاملMeasuring spike train distance from multichannel spike trains data simulated by coupled escape rate model
Estimating the population activity patterns between two or more spike trains is a fundamental problem in studying neural coding in computational neuroscience. In recent years, there are many different methods proposed to build a framework to deal with these problems by using spike train metric. Here we suggest a kernel method for multichannel spike trains that can provide an opportunity to meas...
