title: Normalized power spectrum density function analysis on spike trains. I. Mathematical method and its evaluation.
abstract: The mathematical descriptions of normalized power spectrum density function (NPSDF) for rapidly estimating quantitatively the characteristics of frequency domain of neural spike trains were created and the efficient analytical method was thus established. All the tests and practical applications showed that the method reflects the frequency domain accurately and can satisfy most cases of the analysis in both frequency resolution and calculation speed.
