Parameters utilized for the detection of quantal events and multiquantal responses
| Parameter | Description | Units | Range used in our studies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel | Output channel to be analyzed. If a single channel was employed for recordings, Channel is set 0. | 0−2 | |
| Polarity | Intracellular (1) or extracellular (0) recordings | 0 or 1 | |
| Noise | Base-line S.D. (after filtering) | r.u.1 | 50−300 |
| Minimal Signal, MS | Amplitude threshold for detected events | r.u. | 300−2000 |
| Filter | 1/f, where f is the cut-off frequency for the Gaussian digital filter | Time-points2 | 15−70 |
| Resolution | Temporal interval between subsequent points in a digitized signal | μs | 10−50 |
