Tutorials

These tutorials provide narrative explanations, sample code, and expected output for some of the neurophysiological analyses in Elephant. You can browse the tutorials, launch them in mybinder or try them on ebrains to change and interact with the code.

Launching a notebook on EBRAINS and Binder both provide a convenient way to run and interact with code. The main difference between the two is that changes made to a notebook launched on Binder are not saved, while changes made to a notebook launched on EBRAINS are persistent and bound to the user’s EBRAINS account. This makes EBRAINS a great choice if you want to save your work and come back to it later.

Introductory

  • Statistics of spike trains.

    Covers statistics module with an introduction to Neo input-output data types like SpikeTrain, AnalogSignal, etc.

Advanced

  • Unitary Event Analysis.

    The analysis detects coordinated spiking activity that occurs significantly more often than predicted by the firing rates of neurons alone. It’s superior to simple statistics.

  • Gaussian Process Factor Analysis (GPFA).

    GPFA is a dimensionality reduction method for neural trajectory visualization of parallel spike trains.
