摘要
A new kind of statistical display, the joint peri-stimulus-time scatter diagram, facilitates the analysis and interpretation of two or more simultaneously recorded trains of action potentials. The display is a generalization of the cross correlation and the peri-stimulus-time histogram, and it reflects specific underlying neuronal interactions. The technique yields quantitative measures of interaction in terms of effectiveness of synoptic connections.
