Filter Length The length of all the intervals of the interval filter (if a filter was used) or the

length or the recording session (in seconds).

Mean Freq. Mean firing rate (Spikes/Filter_Length).

Mean Hist. The mean of the histogram bin values (ISI values).

St. Dev. Hist. The standard deviation of the histogram bin values.

St. Dev. ISI The mean value of the SD ISI graph.

CV The mean value of the CV ISI graph.

Algorithm

This analysis estimates the regularity of neuronal firing after the stimulation. The time axis is divided

into bins with the first bin starting at the stimulus sync pulse. Interspike intervals are computed and

interval values are placed in time bins according to the latency of the first spike in the interval (if the

end of the ISI is more than XMax, the interval is not used in the analysis). Then the mean and

standard deviation in each bin are calculated. CV is equal to standard deviation for the bin divided by

the mean ISI for the bin.

Let ref[i] be the array of timestamps of the reference event,

ts[i] be the spike train (each ts is the timestamp)

For each timestamp ref[k]:

1a) calculate the distances from this event (or spike) to all the spikes in the spike train:

d[i] = ts[i] - ref[k]

1b) calculate the interspike interval

isi[i] = ts[i+1] - ts[i]

1c) for each i:

if d[i] is inside the first bin ( d[i] >= XMin and d[i] < XMin + Bin )

and d[i] + isi[i] < XMax,

add isi[i] to the series of intervals for the first bin

if d[i] is inside the second bin ( d[i] >= XMin+Bin and d[i] < XMin + Bin*2 )

and d[i] + isi[i] < XMax, add isi[i] to the series of intervals for the second bin

and so on... .

2) for each bin, calculate mean and standard deviation of the series of interspike intervals for this bin.
