Analysis of differences between sequences of evoked unit responses.
P Lenzi, Adele Azzaroni, Carlo Franzini · PubMed · 1980
Differences between sequences of evoked unit responses may concern the average number of spikes per response, the spike distribution inside the response, the "regularity" of such responses, etc. "Regularity" is defined and measured on the basis of the "distances" between consecutive responses. Each response can be characterized by a set of numbers allowing to represent it as a point in a multidimensional space. Distances between consecutive points are then measured in a euclidean way. Differences are eventually evaluated by proper statistical tests.
