... Bivariate statistics are often used to establish the relationship between two random variables (such as s n and s m ) to determine serial dependence. Classical stochastic spike train analyses exploring the relationship between consecutive ®rst-order ISIs (s n and s n1 ) are called joint-ISI (JISI) plots (Rodieck et al. 1962;Schulman and Thorson 1964;Segundo et al. 1966). The statistical distribution of this ®rst-order ISI pair (s n , s n1 ) represents a two-dimensional ISI statistical distribution, or a joint-ISI distribution. ...
