Abstract:IntroductionThe wide interest in spike-train variability stems mainly from its limiting effect on the accuracy of neural coding and thus the reliability of behavioral responses [1,2]. Consequently, most investigations have focused on determining spike-train variability under identical conditions. However, during natural and novel conditions, spiketrain variability reflects also the variability of the underlying rate. Under the assumption of rate-coding, it is this variability that can reflect the changes in th… Show more
