On the estimating method of the information rates of retinal ganglion cells

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Mutual information is often used to quantify the response property of retinal ganglion cells to sensory inputs. To calculate mutual information from experimental data, a common method is to make a histogram of data samples by discretizing them into appropriate bins. However, the result is highly dependent on the choice of bin size and is subject to approximation error, especially when the number of data is limited. In this study, we introduce a mutual information estimation method using Bayesian method. We apply the method to the information rate analysis of spike trains of retinal ganglion cells. The validity of the proposed method is evaluated through simulation experiment.
