We introduce a new correlation-based measure of spike timing reliability. Unlike other measures, it does not require the definition of "events". It relies on only one parameter, which directly relates to the timescale of spike timing precision. We test the measure in a complex reliability...

We investigated the effect of the phase relationship between two frequency components of a periodic stimulus on cortical neurons and on simulated Integrate- and-Fire (IF) model neurons. It is well established that entrainment to a resonant frequency in a fluctuating stimulus can induce reliable...
