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. | |
| Mean | Average value across time. | |
| Sum | Total value across time. | |
| Skew | Measure of asymmetry of the probability distribution of values across time | |
| Kurtosis | Measure of “tailed-ness” of the probability distribution of values across time | |
| 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. | |
| Entropy | Randomness of the image | |
| Correlation | Correlation between a pixel and its neighbors. | |
| Energy | Uniformity in the image. | |
| Contrast | Intensity contrast between a pixel and its neighborhood. | |
