Mutual temporal relationships among neuronal spike trains. Statistical techniques for display and analysis.

چکیده
We describe a statistical technique, the joint peristimulus time (PST) scatter diagram, for the analysis of data from simultaneously recorded neurons subjected to repeated stimulation. Distinguishable features in the scatter diagram are related to effects of the stimulus on the observed neurons and to functional relations among the neurons. Properties of this measure and its variants are described and practical aspects of its application to experimental data are discussed.

Neuronal spike trains and stochastic point processes. II. Simultaneous spike trains.
The statistical analysis of two simultaneously observed trains of neuronal spikes is described, using as a conceptual framework the theory of stochastic point processes.The first statistical question that arises is whether the observed trains are independent; statistical techniques for testing independence are developed around the notion that, under the null hypothesis, the times of spike occur...
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 کاملInformation Theoretical Analysis of Instantaneous Motor Cortical Neuron Encoding for Brain-Machine Interfaces
Sequential estimation algorithms based on spike trains for motor Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) require knowledge of both neuronal representation encoding of movement and movement decoding from spike train activity. In these BMIs, an instantaneous encoding estimation is necessary which is unlike the methods commonly used that are based on time windows of neural and kinematic data. An online, in...
متن کاملEstimating Temporal Causal Interaction between Spike Trains with Permutation and Transfer Entropy
Estimating the causal interaction between neurons is very important for better understanding the functional connectivity in neuronal networks. We propose a method called normalized permutation transfer entropy (NPTE) to evaluate the temporal causal interaction between spike trains, which quantifies the fraction of ordinal information in a neuron that has presented in another one. The performanc...
متن کاملNeuronal Spike Trains
ABsTRAcr In a growing class of neurophysiological experiments, the train of impulses ("spikes") produced by a nerve cell is subjected to statistical treatment involving the time intervals between spikes. The statistical techniques available for the analysis of single spike trains are described and related to the underlying mathematical theory, that of stochastic point processes, i.e., of stocha...
