Abstract:
Mathematically, spike trains are elusive processes. They encode information,
although how this information is contained in a spike train is still not clear. Same-stimulus
spike trains display structural similarities, yet noise is also always present,
bounding the precision with which a signal can be transmitted. Taking these varied
factors into account is difficult, and here a geometrical approach is adopted in
developing flexible mathematical descriptions of spike train properties.
