Unitary Events in Multiple Single-Neuron Spiking Activity: I. Detection and Significance

Grün, Sonja, Diesmann, Markus, Aertsen, Ad·2002·Neural Computation

Abstract

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 method to detect conspicuous patterns of coincident joint spike activity among simultaneously recorded single neurons. The statistical significance of these unitary events of coincident joint spike activity is evaluated by the joint-surprise. The method is tested and calibrated on the basis of simulated, stationary spike trains of independently firing neurons, into which coincident joint spike events were inserted under controlled conditions. The sensitivity and specificity of the method are investigated for their dependence on physiological parameters (firing rate, coincidence precision, coincidence pattern complexity) and temporal resolution of the analysis. In the companion article in this issue, we describe an extension of the method, designed to deal with nonstationary firing rates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
