Activity Map
The activity map color codes the firing rate of neurons on a two-dimensional map. An
electrode map file assigns each channel to a location. The spiking activity of each
channel is binned and smoothed over a fixed time window of 20 milliseconds. Smoothing
adds steps between events and non-events both between channels and over time.
Maximum Scale Range
: Set the maximum value of the color scale in spikes per
second.
Scale Eccentricity
: Skews the mapping of spike rate to color towards high or low
values.
Time Constant
: Set the time constant controlling activity decay.
Pause
: Pause the display until unchecked.
Reset
: Clear current activity data and refresh visualization.
Load Map File
: Load a map file to change the orientation of the display.
Default Map File
: Return to the default 16x8 grid map file.
