Abstract(in English) We search for optimal measure to discriminate two spike trains which have the same firing rate but different randomness. We use gamma distribution to generate spike trains. We show that we can choose two parameters in gamma distribution as orthogonal coordinates in the sense of information geometry and one of the coordinates corresponds to firing rate. With the coordinate fixed, we generate spike trains having the same firing rate but different randomness. We impose symmetry conditions on the measures which we search for, and it turns out that candidates have only small number of parameters. We determined the optimal measure among the candidates using maximam mutual information principles. We found that L_V is optimal for spike trains whose ISI distributions are close to those of experimental data.
