Next session readings

We are going to talk about rate estimation in next session. Basic concepts are very simple but you can explore it more deeply. Those who want to have some basic theoretical backgrounds for next session, can read these topics from references mentioned or any where else you can find them easier:

1- Basic concepts of Probability, probability distribution function and Probability Density Function (PDF) from "John E. Freund's Mathematical Statistics" or any statistics reference.

2- Meaning of Delta Dirac function and impulse function from "Signals and systems by Alan V. Oppenheim" or simply look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response_function .

2- Theoretical neuroscience chapter one, from beginning up to tuning curve title.

3- Meaning of convolution in engineering mathematics or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution.
