Through an iterative process, they identify statistically significant changes in firing relative to the expected baseline activity\u2014whether aligned to a single event or contrasting experimental conditions. This framework provides robust, data-driven estimates of when neural activity begins to change, without assuming any specific response pattern.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ephyswiki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/latenzy_ga.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ephyswiki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/latenzy_ga.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ephyswiki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/latenzy_ga-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ephyswiki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/latenzy_ga-768x553.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>If you use\u00a0<em>latenZy<\/em>\u00a0in your work, please cite the paper:<\/strong>\u00a0Haak R., Heimel J.
