Abstract :
The serial correlogram (SCG) is used to determine the amount of dependence in spike-interval sequences. This communication demonstrates the effects of measurement errors [i.e., false alarms (FA´s) and false dismissals (FD´s) in spike-detection algorithms] on correlation coefficients when the sequence has a practical sample size.
