2.19. Interspike Intervals vs. Time


The intervals vs. time graph displays interspike intervals against time (at the end of each interspike
interval, the point is drawn with the Y coordinate equal to the interspike interval).


This analysis does not generate numerical results since the graph is drawn directly from the data.
Some generic analysis statistics are available in the Summary of Numerical Results (see below).

Parameters

Algorithm


The intervals vs. time graph displays interspike intervals against time.


For each spike that occurred at time t[i] it draws the point with the coordinates

(t[i], t[i] - t[i-1]),


where t[i-1] is the time of the preceding spike.


In other words, at the end of each interspike interval, the point is drawn with the Y coordinate equal to
the interspike interval.
