| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We propose a statistical framework for modeling the non-Poisson variability of spike trains observed in a wide range of brain regions. Central to our approach is the assumption that the variance and the mean of ISIs are related by a power function characterized by two parameters: the scale factor and exponent. This single assumption allows the variability of spike trains to have an arbitrary scale and various dependencies on the firing rate in the spike count statistics, as well as in the interval statistics, depending on the two parameters of the power function. On the basis of this statistical assumption, we show that the power function relationship between the mean and variance of ISIs with various exponents emerges in a leaky integrate-and-fire model under certain conditions. We also propose a statistical model for spike trains that exhibits the variance-to-mean power relationship, and a maximum likelihood method is developed for inferring the parameters.
