Estimating nonstationary inputs from a single spike train based on a neuron model with adaptation by Hideaki Kim, Shigeru Shinomoto

“…Moreover, because the direct state-space method is computationally infeasible for a data set comprising thousands of spikes, we further develop a practical method for transforming instantaneous firing characteristics back to input parameters. The instantaneous firing characteristics, represented by the firing rate and non-Poisson irregularity, can be estimated using a computationally feasible algorithm. …”
