Still a stub?

[edit]

Is article still as stub? I've been BOLD on other pages, but this seems to still be mostly a lot of technical info. How do the articles get reassessed?Keepstherainoff (talk) 15:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Illustration

[edit]

Here is a new 3D illustration diagram for STA. It might be clearer than the actual version for a broad audience that is not familiar with the manipulation of dimensions. I can also modify it.

Diagram showing how the STA is calculated. A stimulus (consisting here of a checkerboard with random pixels) is presented, and spikes from the neuron are recorded. The stimuli in some time window preceding each spike (here consisting of 3 time bins) are selected (color boxes) and then averaged (here just summed for clarity) to obtain the STA. The STA indicates that this neuron is selective for a bright spot of light just before the spike.

No answer yet. I am going to replace the current version with this one to get more feedback.
