Rasterplot

Plotting Routine to display neural spike trains

Description

RASTERPLOT.M Display spike rasters.
RASTERPLOT(T,N,L) Plots the rasters of spiketimes (T in samples) for N trials, each of length L samples, Sampling rate = 1kHz. Spiketimes are hashed by the trial length.
 
RASTERPLOT(T,N,L,H) Plots the rasters in the axis handle H

RASTERPLOT(T,N,L,H,FS) Plots the rasters in the axis handle H. Uses sampling rate of FS (Hz)

Example:
          t=[10 250 9000 1300,1600,2405,2900];
          rasterplot(t,3,1000)

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1)

Addendum:

Another common method of storing spike data is in matrix form, with ones denoting spikes and zeros denoting no spikes. Its easy to use to this format in rasterplot.

Example:
m=(rand(1000,10)>0.9);
rasterplot(find(m),10,1000)

very useful

I agree very useful thanks.
