Purpose
Peak-triggered post event scan.
Description
"Post event scan" is the time-resolving Post Event Time Histogram of the probe signal x with respect to the peaks of a trigger
signal trig. The columns of the 2-dimensional Post event scan, consist of the
values of x, starting at one of the trigger times 
,
respectively:
The trigger time is defined as the i-th peak of the trigger
signal trig.
The Parameters are:
- window size (time interval) in x-axis units ws
For a detailed description of this parameter, refer to Peak-to-peak intervals.
- peakt, the type of peaks, which is either
- "Maxima" (0) or
- "Minima" (1),
- cross, determining whether a threshold
crossing between peaks is
- "not checked" (0) or
- "checked" (1)
If this is turned on (1), the function only detects a peak if the
threshold line has been crossed by the signal after the
previous peak,
- threshold thresh for the detection of peaks,
- time delay tau for the scan offset (
in the formula above),
- time resolution tres (number of columns of the output),
- scan resolution scres (number of lines of the output)
The result is a 2D output signal, exhibiting rhythms in the probe signal as
well as the degree of synchronisation (phase relation) between trigger and
probe.
Tips
To examine the synchronisation of two rhythms take the signal with the
slower rhythmic activity as the trigger signal to let the oscillations of the
"faster'' signal produce distinct structures along the ordinate. If these
patterns are stable along the time axis the rhythms exhibit a phase
synchronisation.
