Neural Data Analysis I
Encoding
Pascal Wallisch
The primary goal of this chapter is to introduce you to the fundamental methods of analyzing spike trains of single neurons used to characterize their encoding properties: raster plots, peri-event time histograms, and tuning curves. While there are prepackaged tools available for these methods, in this chapter you will program these tools yourself and use them to analyze behavioral data recorded from a motor area of a macaque monkey.
