2.21. Synchrony vs. Time
For each spike, this graph shows the distance from this spike to the closest spike (timestamp) in the
reference event.
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).
This analysis is useful in identifying the moments in time when several neurons are in sync with the
reference neuron. To do this, you need to select Inverted Distance. Then, high values will indicate
spikes that are close to each other. Also, it is useful to specify that the graphs are shown in 1 column
(in Num. Columns in Properties panel).
The red arrow in the picture below shows a moment in time where several neurons have almost-
synchronous spikes with the reference.
