  • Title: Detection of synchrony in the discharge of a population of neurons. II. Implementation and sensitivity of a synchronization index.
    Author: Roscoe DD, Hamm TM, Reinking RM, Stuart DG.
    Journal: J Neurosci Methods; 1985 Mar; 13(1):51-64. PubMed ID: 2985883.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the use of a synchronization index (Is; Hamm et al., 1985a) and its sensitivity to various forms and degrees of synchrony between spike trains. The dependence of the Is on signal-to-noise ratio, the number of synchronized spike trains and their degree of synchrony is shown in analog and digital simulations. These simulations and a comparison with peristimulus time histograms under conditions of induced synchrony reveal that the Is is a sensitive measure of synchronization in a population of spike trains.
