Neurophysiological Point Process Data

Description:

     'neuro' is a matrix containing times of observed firing of a
     neuron in windows of 250ms either side of the application of a
     stimulus to a human subject. Each row of the matrix is a
     replication of the experiment and there were a  total of 469
     replicates.

Note:

     There are a lot of missing values in the matrix as different
     numbers of  firings  were observed in different replicates.  The
     number of firings observed varied  from 2 to 6.

     The data were collected and kindly made available by Dr. S.J.
     Boniface of the Neurophysiology Unit at the Radcliffe Infirmary,
     Oxford.
