Extraction, processing, and analysis of multineuron data

The work reported considers information coding by a population of neurons. Multineuron data were extracellularly recorded from the ventral nerve cord of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana. The nerve cord contains 14 giant interneurons which mediate the wind-evoked directed escape response. The activity of the giant interneurons was observed and tested to determine how directional information was encoded in these neurons.
