23. 2 test [21,22] we find that the corresponding two distributions of correlations are indeed significantly different. Comparisons of the standard deviations of the two distributions yield that the mean correlations within a block and between blocks are 0.81 ± 0.03 (N = 5551) and 0.67 ± 0.06 (N = 9155), respectively. Note that for artificially generated SBEs (with the same firing rates as that of the recorded data) we obtained 0.69 ± 0.05 (N = 15753) and between the artificial SBEs and the recorded ones the values were 0.67 × 0.07.

26. A Synfire chain is comprised of subgroups of neurons linked by diverging and converging connections. If the connections between the cell in the groups and the size of excitatory postsynaptic potentials are apt, activity can propagate down the chain so that activity in each sub-group of neurons is synchronous (to within about 1 ms) and the subgroups are activated successively to advance the computation being executed.
