Abstract
We developed a novel statistical method for identifying coordinated propagation of activity across populations of spiking neurons, with high temporal accuracy. Using simultaneous recordings from three visual areas we document precise timing relationships on a trial-by-trial basis, and we show how previously existing techniques can fail to discover coordinated activity in cases where the new approach finds very strong cross-area correlation.
