Temporally, precise correlations between simultaneously recorded neurons have been
interpreted as signatures of cell assemblies, ie, groups of neurons that form processing …

Two statistical methods—cross-correlation (Moore et al. 1966) and gravity clustering
(Gerstein et al. 1985)—were evaluated for their ability to detect synchronous cell assemblies …

The chance of detecting assembly activity is expected to increase if the spiking activities of
large numbers of neurons are recorded simultaneously. Although such massively parallel …

The signature of neuronal assemblies is the higher-order correlation structure of the spiking
activity of the participating neurons. Due to the rapid progress in recording technology the …

This paper presents a visualization technique specifically designed to support the analysis
of synchronous firings in multiple, simultaneously recorded, spike trains. This technique …

It has been proposed that cortical neurons organize dynamically into functional groups (“cell
assemblies”) by the temporal structure of their joint spiking activity. The Unitary Events …

The efficient detection of higher-order synchronization in massively parallel data is of great
importance in understanding computational processes in the cortex and represents a …

With the ability to observe the activity from large numbers of neurons simultaneously using
modern recording technologies, the chance to identify sub-networks involved in coordinated …

We present a non-parametric and computationally efficient method that detects
spatiotemporal firing patterns and pattern sequences in parallel spike trains and tests …

It has been proposed that cortical neurons organize dynamically into functional groups (cell
assemblies) by the temporal structure of their joint spiking activity. Here, we describe a novel …
