TL;DR: A method for objectively selecting the bin size from the spike count statistics alone, so that the resulting bar or line graph time histogram best represents the unknown underlying spike rate.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the classical kernel smoother may exhibit goodness-of-fit comparable to, or even better than, that of modern sophisticated rate estimation methods, provided that the bandwidth is selected properly for a given set of spike data, according to the optimization methods presented here.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a modele de rotateur actif afin d'etudier la dynamique statistique d'une grande population doscillateurs a cycle limite ou d'elements excitables.

TL;DR: Analysis of firing-pattern dissimilarities across cortical areas revealed a gradient of firing regularity that corresponded closely to the functional category of the cortical area; neuronal spiking patterns are regular in motor areas, random in the visual areas, and bursty in the prefrontal area, suggesting that signaling patterns may play an important role in function-specific cerebral cortical computation.

TL;DR: It is found that a measure of the local variation of interspike intervals, LV, is nearly the same for every spike sequence for any given neuron, while it varies significantly among neurons.
