ifr-methods: Calculate the instantaneous firing rate from the spike...

In kevin-allen/relectro: Analysis of electrophysiological data

Description

The ifr for the periods within the intervals set within the SpikeTrain object will be calculated. A vector with the spike count in each bin is calculated. Then a gaussian kernel is applied to the spike count vector. Finally, the firing probability is integrated over a set window size and transform to a firing rate.

Usage

ifr(st, windowSizeMs = 100, spikeBinMs = 1, kernelSdMs = 100)

## S4 method for signature 'SpikeTrain'
ifr(st, windowSizeMs = 100, spikeBinMs = 1,
  kernelSdMs = 100)

Arguments

st	SpikeTrain object
windowSizeMs	The window size for each ifr value
spikeBinMs	The bin size for the spike count array
kernelSdMs	Standard deviation of the gaussian kernel used to smooth the spike count vector

Value

SpikeTrain object with the instantaneous firing rate
