Previous work:
We analysed multivariate pointprocesses - multineuronal response-patterns from
visual cortex of anaesthetized monkeys by segmentation,
characterization und classifikation of the data with classical methods,
Hidden-Markov-Models (HMM) and explorative investigation of structures in
the high-dimensional data by multidimensional scaling (MDS).
Ws tried to identify parameters of the vis. stimuli by investigation
of the path of HMM-transition-matrices (1).
Structure in multivariate neuronal response patterns (objects) is hidden in
high-dimensional space.
The explorative tool MDS is used to visualize this structure by embedding
the object's dissimilarity to 3 dimensions, where the significant structure
is visible. Different models of MDS are used.
Recent work:
MDS is used to explore structure in spike-pointprocesses.
The structure of the scaled data is compared with the topology of the
shown vis. stimuli (2).
Spikes and local field potentials are recorded at the same electrode.
These data are segmented and classified.
The work with awake animals enables us to answer interesting questions,
but these circumstances make the work and the data analysis difficult.
Questions are: how can the eye-saccades be extracted from the data.
Is it possible to find and classify suspicious data-segments and can these
data segments be connected to visual stimuli or brain states.
One animal showed strong oscillations in local field potentials.
After segmentation and characterization a relationship to the color of
certain vis. stimuli was established (3).
The relationship between local field potentials and spikes is investigated.
