Announcement of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) [November 20, 2007 - deadline: June 02, 2008]
The BMBF has established four “Bernstein Centres for Computational Neuroscience” (www.bernstein-zentren.de) within the framework of its “National Network for Computational Neuroscience” funding activity. These high-performing centres are the major structural elements of the National Network. This means that a new structure has been created which is necessary for developing a new quality in Computational Neuroscience, for networking this research area and for promoting its international visibility.

Information theoretic methods are now widely used for the analysis of spike train data. However, developing robust implementations of these methods can be tedious and time-consuming. In order to facilitate further adoption of these methods, the Spike Train Analysis Toolkit implements several information-theoretic spike train analysis techniques.
