2.24. Burst Analysis
This analysis identifies bursts in spike trains. For each spike train (neuron variable), a new interval
variable is created that contains the time intervals corresponding to bursts.
Parameters
Parameter Description
Algorithm Selection of MaxInterval or Surprise algorithms.
Max Interval Maximum interspike interval to start the burst (in seconds, MaxInterval
method).
Max End Interval Maximum interspike interval to end the burst (in seconds, MaxInterval
method).
Min Interburst Interval Minimum interval between bursts (in seconds, MaxInterval method).
Min Burst Duration Minimum burst duration (in seconds, MaxInterval method)
Min Number of Spikes Minimum number of spikes in the burst (MaxInterval method).
Min Surprise Minimum surprise of the burst (Surprise method).
Rate Histogram Bin The value of the bin for the burst rate histogram (in seconds).
Rate Histogram Units Histogram units (Counts/Bin, Probability or Spikes/Second). See Rate
Histograms for details.
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.
Interval filter Specifies the interval filter(s) that will be used to preselect data before
analysis. See also
Data Selection Options .
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
