โฆ Synopsis
A formal representation of nerve spike trains in the form of a sum of rectangular functions is proposed. This formal instantaneous frequency function can be Fourier analyzed. The resulting algorithm has the useful properties of spike by spike calculations and an insensitivity to the mean (carrier) spike rate. The technique is also useful for producing a smooth (filtered) reconstruction of a spike train.

The time course of the current driving action potential generation at a neuron investigated experimentally is in general not measurable directly. In this paper an indirect method is introduced that allows estimation of this unknown current time course using only spike train data. Assuming the leaky
