Abstract
Simple probabilistic neural models can be used to study the information processing occurring in the brain. Suitable models have to reproduce complex Interspike Histograms (ISHs) observed experimentally, but have to be simple enough to allow theoretical analysis. The simple probabilistic integrate and fire model we present in this paper can be used to identify the origin of peaks appearing in complex multimodal ISHs.
