چکیده
Stimulus response latency is the delay between stimulus onset and the evoked modulation in neural activity. A common technique to estimate latencies involves binning the spike arrival times to form a peri-stimulus histogram. This histogram is smoothed using a fixed bandwidth. The estimated latency is the first time following stimulus onset in which the smoothed histogram exceeds the midpoint between the minimum and maximum of the smoothed histogram. We demonstrate that the choice of smoothing bandwidth is critical to the accuracy of this latency estimation technique. We suggest a bootstrap resampling technique for bandwidth selection which results in a robust latency estimate. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Recordings of spike trains made with microwires or silicon electrodes include more noise from various sources that contaminate the observed spike shapes compared with recordings using sharp microelectrodes. This is a particularly serious problem if spike shape sorting is required to separate the several trains that might be observed on a particular electrode. However, if recordings are made wit...

A rapid fluorescence imaging system was developed and utilised to investigate the time-course of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca]i) gradients generated by action potentials in CA1-CA3 pyramidal cells within brain slices of the rat hippocampus. The system, which is based on a fast commercial CCD camera, can acquire hundreds of 128×128 pixel images in sequence, with minimal inter-frame i...

A recently developed version of the discrete-ordinates method is used along with elementary numerical linear-algebra techniques to establish an e$cient and especially accurate solution to what can be called Chandrasekhar's basic problem in radiative transfer, namely the problem of computing the radiation intensity in a "nite plane-parallel layer illuminated by an incident beam of radiation and ...
متن کاملOn a canonical representation of fuzzy numbers
Fuzzy numbers, and more generally linguistic values, are approximate assessments, given by experts and accepted by decision-makers when obtaining more accurate values is impossible or unnecessary. To simplify the task of representing and handling fuzzy numbers, several authors have introduced real indices in order to capture the information contained in a fuzzy number. In this paper we propose ...
