STM 2010

This workshop addresses the central question in Computational Neuroscience which aspects of neural firing patterns matter functionally and which may be of less importance. In the past, various heuristic measures have been used to characterise spike train data such as firing rates, interspike intervals, pair-correlations, and so on. More recently, advanced tools have been proposed that more systematically explore coding properties of neurons and neural ensembles. These comprise, for example, higher-order statistics, information-based interaction and complexity measures, spike-train metrics, or detailed computational models which allow to understand and predict spike-timing in neurons faithfully.
