This page was created by Takeaki Shimokawa in collaboration with Shigeru Shinomoto, based on the study published in Neural Computation 2009[pdf].

Web application for estimating the rate and regularity of occurrence (Ver. 0.2)

1. Copy-and-paste spike sequences


2. Estimation of an instantaneous Rate and Regularity

with the EM method and the Kalman filter.

3. Output sheet

You may obtain the list of {time, estimated rate, estimated regularity}.

4. MATLAB code

BayesRR.zip
Function 'BayesRR' returns the list of {time, estimated rate, estimated regularity}.
