Analysis of Neuronal Spike Trains: Survey of Stochastic Techniques and Implementation of the Cumulative-Sums Statistic for Evaluation of Spontaneous and Driven Activity

Statistical notations and techniques for analyzing stochastic point processes were reviewed. The cumulative sums (cusums), a method of industrial quality control was implemented for the selection of stationary data segments in spontaneous recording, and for the detection of stimulus-related nonstationarities in driven neuronal activity.
