Spike Toolbox

STProfileFrequency
Calculate a binned spiking frequency profile from a spike train

Syntax
[vInstFrequency] = STProfileFrequency(stTrain, tTimeWindow) [vInstFrequency] = STProfileFrequency(stTrain, tTimeWindow, strLevel)

Description
stTrain is a spike train with either an instance or a mapping. tTimeWindow specifies the duration in seconds of the time bins that spikes will be lumped into. strLevel optionally specifies whether a spike train instance or mapping will be used, and must be one of {instance, mapping}. STProfileFrequency will calculate the spike train frequency for each bin. These frequencies will be returned in vInstFrequency. The format will be [time_stamp frequency]. time_stamp is a real value representing the median time of each bin. frequency is the average frequency of the spike train during each time bin, in Hz.

See STProfileCount for basic spike binning. See STProfileFrequencyAddresses for profiling spikes from multiplexed mapped spike trains.

Note that STProfileFrequency will calculate frequencies using spikes irrespective of their source or target address.
