Add to Results / Bin
middle

An option to add an additional vector (containing a middle point of each
bin) to the matrix of numerical results.

Add to Results / Bin
right

An option to add an additional vector (containing a right edge of each bin)
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.

Summary of Numerical Results


The following information is available in the Summary of Numerical Results

Column

Description

Variable

Variable name.

YMin

Histogram minimum.

YMax

Histogram maximum.

Spikes

The number of spikes used in calculation.

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.

St. Dev. Hist.

The standard deviation of the histogram bin values.

St. Err. Mean. Hist.

The standard error of mean of the histogram bin values.

Mean ISI

The mean of the interspike intervals.

St. Dev. ISI

The standard deviation of the interspike intervals.

Coeff. Var. ISI

Coefficient of variation of the interspike intervals.

Median ISI

Median of the interspike intervals.

Mode ISI

Mode of the interspike intervals.

Algorithm


If Use Log Bins and X Axis option is not selected:


The time axis is divided into bins. The first bin is [IntMin, IntMin+Bin). The second bin is
[IntMin+Bin, Intmin+Bin*2), etc. The left end is included in each bin, the right end is excluded from
the bin. For each bin, the number of interspike intervals within this bin is calculated.
