چکیده
This work presents two kernels which can be applied to sets of spike times. This allows the use of state-of-the-art classification techniques to spike trains. The presented kernels are closely related to several recent and often used spike train metrics. One of the main advantages is that it does not require the spike trains to be binned. A high temporal resolution is thus preserved which is needed when temporal coding is used. As a test of the classification possibilities a jittered spike train template classification

Strictly Positive-Definite Spike Train Kernels for Point-Process Divergences
Exploratory tools that are sensitive to arbitrary statistical variations in spike train observations open up the possibility of novel neuroscientific discoveries. Developing such tools, however, is difficult due to the lack of Euclidean structure of the spike train space, and an experimenter usually prefers simpler tools that capture only limited statistical features of the spike train, such as...
متن کاملA Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space Framework for Spike Train Signal Processing
This letter presents a general framework based on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) to mathematically describe and manipulate spike trains. The main idea is the definition of inner products to allow spike train signal processing from basic principles while incorporating their statistical description as point processes. Moreover, because many inner products can be formulated, a particular...
متن کاملTowards statistical summaries of spike train data.
Statistical inference has an important role in analysis of neural spike trains. While current approaches are mostly model-based, and designed for capturing the temporal evolution of the underlying stochastic processes, we focus on a data-driven approach where statistics are defined and computed in function spaces where individual spike trains are viewed as points. The first contribution of this...
متن کاملOn the Mathematical Consequences of Binning Spike Trains
We initiate a mathematical analysis of hidden effects induced by binning spike trains of neurons. Assuming that the original spike train has been generated by a discrete Markov process, we show that binning generates a stochastic process that is no longer Markov but is instead a variable-length Markov chain (VLMC) with unbounded memory. We also show that the law of the binned raster is a Gibbs ...
متن کاملMeasuring spike train distance from multichannel spike trains data simulated by coupled escape rate model
Estimating the population activity patterns between two or more spike trains is a fundamental problem in studying neural coding in computational neuroscience. In recent years, there are many different methods proposed to build a framework to deal with these problems by using spike train metric. Here we suggest a kernel method for multichannel spike trains that can provide an opportunity to meas...
