List of features to identify spatiotemporal patterns

Description Formula
1-Statistic
Median Middle ordered voltage value across time. Middle value
Range Range of normalized values across time. max(vi,j)-min(vi,j)
Mean Average value across time. 1N2i,jN2vij
Sum Total value across time. i,jN2vij
Skew Measure of asymmetry of the probability distribution of values across time i,jN2E[vij3]-3μσ2-μ3σ3
Kurtosis Measure of “tailed-ness” of the probability distribution of values across time i,jN2E[(vij-μ)4](E[(vij-μ)2)2
2-Kymograph
Quiescent Duration Amount of time the network is not in an active state. See text
Speed Propagation rate from a central stimulation source. See text
3-Texture
Connected Components Number of distinct clusters of activity. Bwconncomp
Homogeneity Similarity of voltage values throughout the recording. i,jN2vij1+|i-j|
Entropy Randomness of the image i,jN2vijln(vij)
Correlation Correlation between a pixel and its neighbors. i,jN2(i-μi)(j-μj)vijσiσj
Energy Uniformity in the image. i,jN2vij2
Contrast Intensity contrast between a pixel and its neighborhood. i,jN2|i-j|2vij
