2.27. Correlations with Continuous Variable
This analysis calculates crosscorrelations between a continuously recorded variable and a neuronal
firing rate, or crosscorrelations between a continuously recorded variable and another continuous
variable.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
Reference
Specifies a reference continuous variable.
XMin
Time axis minimum in seconds.
XMax
Time axis maximum in seconds.
Bin Type
An option to specify how the bin value is determined. If this option is Auto,
NeuroExplorer will use the bin equal to the A/D sampling interval of the
reference variable.
Bin
Bin size in seconds. Used if Bin Type is set to User defined.
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
.
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
Smooth
Option to smooth the histogram after the calculation. See
for details.
Smooth Filter Width
The width of the smooth filter. See
for details.
Add to Results / Bin left An option to add an additional vector (containing a left edge of each bin) to
the matrix of numerical results.
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
.
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
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.
