Many neurons display significant patterning in their spike trains (eg oscillations, bursting),
and there is accumulating evidence that information is contained in these patterns. In many …

Fast information transfer in neuronal systems rests on series of action potentials, the spike
trains, conducted along axons. Methods that compare spike trains are crucial for …

It has been known for> 30 years that neuronal spike trains exhibit correlations, that is, the
occurrence of a spike at one time is not independent of the occurrence of spikes at other …

The activity of spiking neurons is frequently described by renewal point process models that
assume the statistical independence and identical distribution of the intervals between …

Nerve cells in the brain generate sequences of action potentials with a complex statistics.
Theoretical attempts to understand this statistics were largely limited to the case of a …

Despite intrinsic noise sources, neurons can generate action potentials with remarkable
reliability. This reliability is influenced by the characteristics of sensory or synaptic inputs …

Many neurons display intrinsic interspike interval correlations in their spike trains. However,
the effects of such correlations on information transmission in neural populations are not …

Correlations between neuronal spike trains affect network dynamics and population coding.
Overlapping afferent populations and correlations between presynaptic spike trains …

Neuronal action potentials or spikes provide a long-range, noise-resistant means of
communication between neurons. As point processes single spikes contain little information …

Recent experimental reports have suggested that cortical networks can operate in regimes
were sensory information is encoded by relatively small populations of spikes and their …
