Populations of neurons in the retina1­3
, olfactory system4
, visual5
and somatosensory6
thalamus, and several cortical regions7­10
show temporal correlation between the discharge times of their
action potentials (spike trains). Correlated firing has been linked
to stimulus encoding9
, attention11
, stimulus discrimination4
, and
motor behaviour12
