Abstract.
A method for detecting mutual deterministic dependence between a pair of spike trains is proposed. When it is assumed that a cell assembly, which is a subgroup of neurons processing a common task, is constituted as a dynamical system, then the mutual determinism between constituent neurons may be directly reflected in functional connectivity in the assembly. The deterministic dependence between two spike trains can be measured with statistical significance using a method of nonlinear prediction. Some examples of simulations are demonstrated in both deterministic and stochastic cases.
