The biomedical sciences have recently undergone revolutionary
change, due to the ability to digitize and store large data sets.
In neuroscience, the data sources include measurements of neural
activity measured using electrode arrays, EEG and MEG, brain
imaging data from PET, fMRI and optical imaging methods. Analysis,
visualization and management of these time series data sets is a
growing field of research that has become increasingly important
both for experimentalists and theorists interested in brain
function. Written by investigators who have played an important
role in developing the subject and in its pedagogical exposition,
the current volume addresses the need for a textbook in this
interdisciplinary area. The book is written for a broad spectrum of
readers ranging from physical scientists, mathematicians and
statisticians wishing to educate themselves about neuroscience, as
well as biologists who would like to learn time series analysis
methods in particular, and refresh their mathematical and
statistical knowledge in general, through self-pedagogy. It could
also be used as a supplement for a quantitative course in
neurobiology or as a textbook for instruction on neural signal
processing. The first part of the book contains a set of essays
meant to provide conceptual background which are not technical and
should be generally accessible. Salient features include the
adoption of an active perspective of the nervous system, an
emphasis on function, and a brief survey of different theoretical
accounts in neuroscience. The second part is the longest in the
book, and contains a refresher course in mathematics and statistics
leading up to time series analysis techniques. The third part
contains applications of data analysis techniques to the range of
data sources indicated above (also available as part of the Chronux
data analysis platform from http://chronux.org), and the fourth
part contains special topics.
