Synchronized neural activity in the visual cortex is associated with small time delays (up to ~10 ms). The magnitude and direction of these delays depend on stimulus properties. Thus, synchronized neurons produce fast sequences of action potentials, and the order in which units tend to fire within these sequences is stimulusdependent, but not stimulus-locked. In the present thesis, I investigated whether such preferred firing sequences repeat with sufficient accuracy to serve as a neuronal code. To this end, I developed a method for extracting the preferred sequence of firing in a group of neurons from their pair-wise preferred delays, as measured by the offsets of the centre peaks in their cross-correlation histograms. This analysis method...
