text: Neuronal responses to complex stimuli and tasks can encompass a wide range
of time scales. Understanding these responses requires measures that characterize
how the information on these response patterns are represented across multiple
temporal resolutions. In this paper we propose a metric – which we call multiscale
relevance (MSR) – to capture the dynamical variability of the activity of single
neurons across different time scales. The MSR is a non-parametric, fully featureless
indicator in that it uses only the time stamps of the firing activity without
resorting to any a priori covariate or invoking any specific structure in the
tuning curve for neural activity. When applied to neural data from the mEC and
from the ADn and PoS regions of freely-behaving rodents, we found that neurons
having low MSR tend to have low mutual information and low firing sparsity across
the correlates that are believed to be encoded by the region of the brain where
the recordings were made. In addition, neurons with high MSR contain significant
information on spatial navigation and allow to decode spatial position or head
direction as efficiently as those neurons whose firing activity has high mutual
information with the covariate to be decoded and significantly better than the
set of neurons with high local variations in their interspike intervals. Given
these results, we propose that the MSR can be used as a measure to rank and select
neurons for their information content without the need to appeal to any a priori
covariate.

text: "This package contains data for the publication \"Nonlinear decoding of a
complex movie from the mammalian retina\" by Deny S. et al, PLOS Comput Biol (2018).
\r\n\r\nThe data consists of\r\n(i) 91 spike sorted, isolated rat retinal ganglion
cells that pass stability and quality criteria, recorded on the multi-electrode
array, in response to the presentation of the complex movie with many randomly
moving dark discs. The responses are represented as 648000 x 91 binary matrix,
where the first index indicates the timebin of duration 12.5 ms, and the second
index the neural identity. The matrix entry is 0/1 if the neuron didn't/did spike
in the particular time bin.\r\n(ii) README file and a graphical illustration of
the structure of the experiment, specifying how the 648000 timebins are split
into epochs where 1, 2, 4, or 10 discs were displayed, and which stimulus segments
are exact repeats or unique ball trajectories.\r\n(iii) a 648000 x 400 matrix
of luminance traces for each of the 20 x 20 positions (\"sites\") in the movie
frame, with time that is locked to the recorded raster. The luminance traces are
produced as described in the manuscript by filtering the raw disc movie with a
small gaussian spatial kernel. "
