Abstract
The method makes it possible to determine synchronicity of several measurement series which consist of binary frequency data, in order to detect redundancy between several neurons. In this case, every possible combination of synchronicity has its own occurrence probability. The synchronicity is detected by measuring a discriminating significance, which tests a null hypothesis with a surrogate method. One possible application is the detection of neuronal coding patterns in the brain.
