A method of neuronal spike train study based on autoregressive analysis.
The method of autoregressive (AR) analysis for neuronal spike trains (NST) is proposed in the paper. The AR model and the Green's function as well as the power spectral density function are used to process and analyse the neuronal interspike interval (ISI) sequences of cat's first somatosensory area of cortex (SI area) under various situations. With these methods the characteristics of the ISI sequence such as the AR order and parameters, memory property, correlativity and periodicity etc. can be extracted.
