Fractal patterns in auditory nerve-spike trains

The authors discuss the following topics: traditional renewal point process models; long-term correlations; self-similarity of neuronal firing rates; power-law behavior of the Fano-factor time curve; change in the firing pattern induced by the presence of a stimulus; neural information processing with fractal nerve spikes; biophysical origin of the fractal behavior; fractal point-process model; short-term correlations.<
