Unsupervised Detection of Cell-Assembly Sequences by Similarity-Based Clustering

Neurons which fire in a fixed temporal pattern (i.e., “cell assemblies”) are hypothesized to be a fundamental unit of neural information processing. Several methods are available for the detection of cell assemblies without time structure. However, the systematic detection of cell assemblies with time structure has been challenging, especially in large datasets, due to the […]
