Spike train analysis

Procedures for the analysis of stimulus-correlated spike train data are reviewed. All procedures considered attempt to extract excitability changes evoked by the stimulus at the neuron investigated. The methods covered range from rather simple methods that require very little computational effort (raw spike train displays; peri-stimulus-time histogram (PSTH)) to more sophisticated procedures that attempt to extract all information available in the recorded spike-train data.
