Abstract: Considerable methodological progress suggests that sequential firing of cortical neurons plays an active role in processing behaviorally relevant information, yet methods for detecting sequential firing patterns are limited due to its noisy nature. We propose a novel metric called "Edit similarity" to tackle the problem. In this talk, I'll talk about the basic idea of it and introduce its applications.
