20 SPADE is a method to detect repeated spatio-temporal activity patterns in parallel spike train data that occur in excess to chance expectation. In this tutorial, we will use SPADE to detect the simplest type of such patterns, synchronous events that are found across a subset of the neurons considered.

25 The Unitary Event analysis detects coordinated spiking activity that occurs significantly more often than predicted by the firing rates of neurons alone. It’s therefore superior to simple statistics. This tutorial will show you how to use this analysis in Elephant.

40 elephant.parallel module provides a simple interface to parallelize multiple calls to any user-specified function. We showcase a typical use case in this tutorial which is calling a function many times with different parameters.

45 The tutorial demonstrates a method of finding patterns of synchronous spike times (synfire chains) which cannot be revealed by measuring neuronal firing rates only.
