Similarity among spiketrains with shuffled or jittered ISI intervals.

[Ruairi-osul]

Hello,

Thanks for uploading this.

I notice that the measures in this repo find relationships between spike trains even when ISIs are shuffled or jittered. For example, here is a spike train syncrhony measure applied to a set of simultaneously recorded spiketrains. There is clear structure that is retained when the inter spike intervals are shuffled.

Is this the expected behaviour? If so, how do you propose one uses these measures to find relationships not related to spike rate etc? In the above I compared the observed to bootstrap samples of shuffled ISIs but this doesnt seem like the best way to go.

Many thanks, Ruairi
