This study demonstrates the state-of-the-art technology in two-photon calcium imaging by recording from thousands of cortical neurons in vivo. The authors exploit the single-neuron resolution of the technique to quantify the transitions in orientation selectivity at the edges of orientation columns in V1.

The authors used frequency-domain representations of simultaneous LFP recordings from several brain regions to classify the behavioral states of rats. They used PCA to visualize state-space maps and plotted the trajectories and transitions between states. Importantly, they compared the results within individual animals.

The authors sought to unmix electromyographic recordings from the hindlimbs of frogs during locomotory movements. They used ICA to identify bursts of activity (or independent muscle drives) that corresponded to the activation of groups of muscles.

Neural Comput 16 (2004) 999-1012. The authors recorded calcium signals from ∼20 glomeruli in the antennal lobe of honeybees. Following odor stimulation, they used an SVM algorithm to analyze the different phases of responses along trajectories in the multidimensional-phase space.

Using a planar electrode array, the authors simultaneously recorded a large population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from primate retina during a moving-bar stimulus. Combining the spatial and temporal aspects of the signals, they calculated the precision with which populations of RGCs represent the speed of moving stimuli.
