abstract = {The detection of bursts and also of response onsets is
often of relevance in understanding neurophysiological data,
but the detection of these events is not a trivial task. We
build on a method that was originally designed for burst
detection using the so-called burst surprise as a measure.
We extend this method and provide a proper significance
measure. Our method consists of two stages. In the first
stage we model the neuron’s interspike interval (ISI)
distribution and make an i.i.d. assumption to formulate our
null hypothesis. In addition we define a set of
’surprising’ events that signify deviations from the
null hypothesis in the direction of ’burstiness’. Here
the so-called (strict) burst novelty is used to measure the
size of this deviation. In the second stage we determine the
significance of this deviation. The (strict) burst surprise
is used to measure the significance, since it is the
negative logarithm of the significance probability. After
showing the consequences of a non-proper null hypothesis on
burst detection performance, we apply the method to
experimental data. For this application the data are divided
into a period for parameter estimation to express a proper
null hypothesis (model of the ISI distribution), and the
rest of the data is analyzed by using that null hypothesis.
We find that assuming a Poisson process for experimental
spike data from motor cortex is rarely a proper null
hypothesis, because these data tend to fire more regularly
and thus a gamma process is more appropriate. We show that
our burst detection method can be used for rate change onset
detection, because a deviation from the null hypothesis
detected by (strict) burst novelty also covers an increase
of firing rate.},
