Summary :

Multiple Markov sequences of interpoint intervals are generated by computer simulation. A kind of rational transition probability density function presented here is found to be satisfactory to simulate wide varieties of neuronal spike trains. Three examples of the Markov sequences are examined and investigated from a viewpoint of point density, two of which are to simulate the actual spike trains obtained from the central neurons of the cat. The third one has exponential type interval histogram. The generated Markov sequences as well as the neuronal spike trains usually show slow fluctuations of point densities. When a point sequence of this kind is smoothed by an appropriate filter, the approximate point density fluctuation is extracted. By an inverse procedure of integral density modulation with this point density as the modulating signal, the point sequence is transformed into another sequence of which the slow component of point density is eliminated. It is found that the transformed point sequence can be approximately regarded as a non-correlative sequence, if a right kind of filter is selected. This shows that both the simulated Markov sequences and the neuronal sequences tested here are almost regarded as the density modulated point sequences of the non-correlative sequences of intervals.
