2.31. Epoch Counts
This analysis is very similar to Perievent Histograms. The only distinction is that, instead of
calculating bin counts for consecutive bins of the same size, Epoch Counts analysis can calculate bin
counts for bins (epochs) of any size. Epochs can be of different lengths and can overlap.
Parameters
Parameter Description
Reference Type Specifies if the analysis will use a single or multiple reference events.
Reference Specifies a reference neuron or event (or a group of reference neurons or
events).
Epochs A table of epochs in seconds.
No Selfcount An option not to count reference events if the target event is the same as
the reference event (prevents a histogram to have a huge peak at zero
when calculating PSTH versus itself).
Select Data If Select Data is From Time Range, only the data from the specified (by
Select Data From and Select Data To parameters) time range will be used
in analysis. See also
Data Selection Options .
Select Data From Start of the time range in seconds.
Select Data To End of the time range in seconds.
Int. filter type Specifies if the analysis will use a single or multiple interval filters.
Interval filter Specifies the interval filter(s) that will be used to preselect data before
analysis. See also
Data Selection Options .
Add to Results / Bin left An option to add an additional vector (containing a left edge of each
epoch) to the matrix of numerical results.
Add to Results / Bin
right An option to add an additional vector (containing a right edge of each
epoch) to the matrix of numerical results.
Send to Matlab An option to send the matrix of numerical results to Matlab. See also
Matlab Options .
Matrix Name Specifies the name of the results matrix in Matlab workspace.
Matlab command Specifies a Matlab command that is executed after the numerical results
are sent to Matlab.
Send to Excel An option to send numerical results or summary of numerical results to
Excel. See also
Excel Options .
Sheet Name The name of the worksheet in Excel where to copy the numerical results.
TopLeft Specifies the Excel cell where the results are copied. Should be in the form
CR where C is Excel column name, R is the row number. For example, A1
is the top-left cell in the worksheet.
