Time and Frequency Domain Analysis of Spike Train and Time Series Data

摘要: The concept of a spike triggered average will be familiar to many neurophysiologists. first application in neurophysiology by Mendell and Henneman (1968, 1971) was used examine the magnitude monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) from muscle spindle la afferents onto homonymous motoneurons, which provided major piece evidence development size principle for motoneuron recruitment (see Mendell, 1981). technique has gained widespread acceptance, been widely investigate strength synaptic connections mammalian central nervous system (e.g. Watt et al., 1976; Stauffer Kirkwood Sears, 1980; Cope 1987), leading new insights an increased understanding basic neurophysiological mechanisms.
