Abstract:
|
One of three distance metrics proposed by Victor and Purpura for examining neuronal impulse trains, is the spike-motif distance. Past work has shown how a related distance (spike-time) can be used to determine a prototype sequence such that the distance between the prototype and all sequences in the data set is minimized. This work illustrates possible advantages of the spike-motif distance and how prototypes can be computed under this alternate metric. As an illustration, the method is shown applied to the timing of foul calls in professional Basketball.
