Approach: at each time step, calculate the probability that rat is at coordinates (x,y)given the neural activity. The parameters of such a model are continuously updatedand the model can predict the location of the rat better and better. The parameters can then give insight into the characteristics of the neural activity relevant to encoding position. The evolution of the parameters can give insights into the plasticity of the system.

c, EEG theta rhythm and place cell firing (in red) for the same cell on a single eastward run. Ticks above the spikes indicate + to - zero crossings g p g(0°/360° phase) for each theta wave, lines through theta waves indicate 270°. Bursts of spikes occur at higher than theta frequency causing each successive burst to move to an earlier phase of the theta cycle, despite initially rising then falling firing rate Theta cycle phase of spikes forinitially rising, then falling firing rate. Theta cycle phase of spikes for multiple runs from a place cell is plotted against position

Phase and rate can be independent – do they encode different variables?

Rate correlates with running speed!
