Last time, I mentioned a website which gives an overview of methods to analyze neuronal (and other) networks. Let’s have a closer look. Here’s a list of the methods:
- Cross-correlation (the standard method)
- Mutual Information
- Incremental Mutual Information
- Granger Causality
- Transfer Entropy
- Incremental Transfer Entropy
- Generalized Transfer Entropy
- Bayesian Inference
- Anatomical Reconstruction
To be honest, I never heard of most of them. So let’s simply go into it and start with ‘Mutual Information’.
