Numbers of Bursts and Pauses with and without the Bonferroni correction (adjusted). The same spike train was analyzed with Poisson Surprise (PS), and Robust Gaussian Surprise (RGS) for bursts and pauses; and Template method, and Rank Surprise (RS) for bursts. The PS, RS, and RGS methods were also analyzed with adjustments for the Bonferroni correction. All bursts and pauses had a P value < 0.05. The minimum number of spikes in a burst is 2. The RGS method with adjusted P detected both bursts and pauses with much higher Surprise values than the other methods.

Method	bursts	pauses
PS	20	1
RS	10
RGS	27	36
PS adjusted	7	1
RS adjusted	3
RGS adjusted	25	36
