The spike-triggered average (STA) is a method used in computational neuroscience to characterize the relationship between neuronal spike train activity and sensory stimuli. It involves analyzing how specific inputs or stimuli relate to the output of a neuron, particularly the times at which the neuron fires action potentials (or spikes). Here's how it works, step by step: 1. **Data Collection:** A neuron's spiking activity is recorded alongside a sensory stimulus (such as a visual or auditory signal).
