Extracellular spiking
Extracellular spiking
The goal of this module is to work with action potential data taken from a publicly available database. You will learn about spike counts, orientation tuning, and spatial maps. The MATLAB code introduces data types, for-loops and vectorizations, indexing, and data visualization.
Topics covered in this lesson
Neuroscience topics covered:
- Action potentials and spike counts
- Orientation tuning curves in visual cortex
- Spatial maps of firing rates
MATLAB topics covered:
- Data types (structures and cells)
- Embedded for-loops and vectorization
- Logical indexing
