When computing a cross‐correlation histogram, slower signal components can hinder the detection of faster components, which are often in the research focus. For example, precise neuronal synchronization often co‐occurs with slow co‐variation in neuronal rate responses. Here we present a method – dubbed scaled correlation analysis – that enables the isolation of the cross‐correlation histogram of fast signal components. The method computes correlations only on small temporal scales (i.e. on… Expand

    Method for stationarity-segmentation of spike train data with application to the Pearson cross-correlation.
    TLDR
    A method for assessing stationarity empirically and then "slicing" spike trains into stationary segments according to the statistical definition of weak-sense stationarity is introduced and another source of covariance that can be differentiated from the covariance of the spike times and emerges as a consequence of residual nonstationarities after the slicing process is identified.

    A Scaled-Correlation Based Approach for Defining and Analyzing Functional Networks
    TLDR
    A new method is devised that is based on the Scaled Correlation function to estimate interactions between nodes that occur on fast timescales and is superior in identifying networks whose structure correlates to the cognitive processes engaged during visual perception. Expand
    Detecting Non-Redundant Collective Activity of Neurons
    TLDR
    This work extends a recently-introduced method for extracting stereotypical firing patterns by applying several post-processing steps that enable the precise estimation of pattern wavefronts irrespective of the integration timescale used to detect patterns. Expand
    Advanced correlation grid: Analysis and visualisation of functional connectivity among multiple spike trains
    TLDR
    The ACG method enables scientists to automatically distinguish between direct connections from spurious connections such as common source connection and indirect connection whereas existing methods require in-depth analysis to identify such connections. Expand
    Large-Scale Communication in the Human Brain Is Rhythmically Modulated through Alpha Coherence
    TLDR
    The results are specific to the alpha band and build upon emerging evidence suggesting that alpha oscillations may play an active role in cortical function and provide evidence that large-scale communication in the human brain may be rhythmically modulated byalpha oscillations. Expand
    Scaled correlation analysis of electroencephalography: a new measure of signal influence
    Electroencephalography (EEG) signals recording are the mixture of electrical potentials generated from different sources. These signals are influenced by different potentials. Currently, there exists… Expand
    Time-frequency super-resolution with superlets
    TLDR
    A spectral estimator enabling time-frequency super-resolution, called superlet, that uses sets of wavelets with increasingly constrained bandwidth that are combined geometrically in order to maintain the good temporal resolution of single wavelets and gain frequency resolution in upper bands is introduced.

    Hold Your Methods! How Multineuronal Firing Ensembles Can Be Studied Using Classical Spike-Train Analysis Techniques
    TLDR
    This work quantifies the collective activity of neurons as multidimensional vectors (patterns) and characterize the behavior of these patterns by applying classical spike train analysis techniques: peri-stimulus time histograms, tuning curves and auto- and cross-correlation histograms. Expand
    Scale space multiresolution correlation analysis for time series data
    TLDR
    The results underline the usefulness of the scale space approach when the correlation between the time series exhibit time-varying structure in different scales. Expand
    Transfer entropy as a tool for reconstructing interaction delays in neural signals
    TLDR
    This work applies the transfer entropy method to reconstruct intra-cerebral interaction delays from noninvasive Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings, and obtained biologically plausible values, suggesting a potential diagnostic use of the method. Expand

    Detection and assessment of near-zero delays in neuronal spiking activity
    TLDR
    A method is presented for the estimation of the central peak's position based on fitting a cosine function to the CCH and it is shown that the precision of this estimate can be tracked analytically and developed a test of statistical significance for differences between two sets of measurements.

    A method was devised for the quantification of a generalized Gabor function that was fitted to the correlograms to allow for an automatic and independent classification of synchrony on the one hand and oscillatory firing patterns on the other. Expand

    TLDR
    A non-parametric statistical test is proposed with which one can investigate the consistency of the delays across a large number of pairwise measurements and the consistency in the changes in the time delays as a function of experimental conditions. Expand

    A decomposition for the cross-correlation function of doubly stochastic point processes is provided, where each of the components corresponds precisely to the concepts of dependence under investigation, which implies that spike coordination and rate covariation are statistically separable concept of dependence.
