Analyzing population coding in neuronal data using spike train distances #
Availability of multi-unit recordings from neurons has opened interesting approaches to neuronal coding. While single neuron recordings made it possible to look into neuronal coding at the single unit level, there is evidence for information being transmitted on the population level that cannot be seen from single units alone. In order to tackle this problem we have designed algorithms to identify the subpopulation among the larger group of recorded neurons that discriminates best between the presented stimuli.
