Before revision: We propose a metric - called Multi-Scale Relevance (MSR) - to score neurons for their prominence in encoding for the animal's behaviour that is being observed in a multi-electrode array recording experiment.
After revision: Neuronal responses to complex stimuli and tasks can encompass a wide range of time scales. Understanding these responses requires measures that characterize how the information on these response patterns are represented across multiple temporal resolutions. In this paper we propose a metric - called Multi-Scale Relevance (MSR) - to score neurons for their prominence in encoding for the animal's behaviour that is being observed in a multi-electrode array recording experiment.
