Spike generation in neurons produces a temporal point process, whose statistics is governed by intrinsic phenomena and the external incoming inputs to be coded. In particular, spike-evoked adaptation currents support a slow temporal process…
Numerical investigations have been made of responses of a Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neuron to spike-train inputs whose interspike interval (ISI) is modulated by deterministic, semi-deterministic (chaotic) and stochastic signals. As deterministic…
In sensory neurons the presence of noise can facilitate the detection of weak information-carrying signals, which are encoded and transmitted via correlated sequences of spikes. Here we investigate relative temporal order in spike sequences…
Responses have been numerically studied of an ensemble of $N$ (=1, 10, and 100) Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons to coherent spike-train inputs applied with independent Poisson spike-train (ST) noise and Gaussian white noise. Three interrelated…
A common way of studying the relationship between neural activity and behavior is through the analysis of neuronal spike trains that are recorded using one or more electrodes implanted in the brain. Each spike train typically contains…
Estimating the degree of synchrony or reliability between two or more spike trains is a frequent task in both experimental and computational neuroscience. In recent years, many different methods have been proposed that typically compare the…
Model calculations have been performed on the spike-train response of a pair of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons coupled by recurrent excitatory-excitatory couplings with time delay. The coupled, excitable HH neurons are assumed to receive the…
The mutual information between stimulus and spike-train response is commonly used to monitor neural coding efficiency, but neuronal computation broadly conceived requires more refined and targeted information measures of input-output joint…
Neurons perform computations, and convey the results of those computations through the statistical structure of their output spike trains. Here we present a practical method, grounded in the information-theoretic analysis of prediction, for…
Measures of multiple spike train synchrony are essential in order to study issues such as spike timing reliability, network synchronization, and neuronal coding. These measures can broadly be divided in multivariate measures and averages…

Neurons encode and transmit information in spike sequences. However, despite the effort devoted to quantify their information content, little progress has been made in this regard. Here we use a nonlinear method of time-series analysis…
Numerical calculations have been made on the spike-train response of a pair of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons coupled by synapses and axons with time delay. The recurrent excitatory-excitatory, inhibitory-inhibitory, excitatory-inhibitory, and…
Sensory systems pass information about an animal's environment to higher nervous system units through sequences of action potentials. When these action potentials have essentially equivalent waveforms, all information is contained in the…
Interspike intervals describe the output of neurons. Signal transmission in a neuronal network implies that the output of some neurons becomes the input of others. The output should reproduce the main features of the input to avoid a…
