Neural Spike Rate

Tags
adaptive-intelligence

A measure of the rate of excitation of a neuron over a period of time.

It's [see page 7, defined] as the sum of the change in potential averaged over the measurement interval: \[ v = \frac{n_{sp}(t; t + T)}{T} \] With:

  • \( n_{sp} \) being the number of spikes over the period \( T \).
  • \( T \) being the duration over which we measured spikes.
